Re: Still NO FISHING at Clear Lake

Maybe it's because they can't afford to staff the lake properly because their tax-revenue base is gone.
Sarcasm?

You can fish from shore and you can Kayak but you can't fish from a kayak? Must be the tax revenue! That makes no sense.

Re: Ban the A-rig in tournaments petition. Some very well kn

I have to say that I agree with the new BASS rule of one rod, one reel, one bait. Tournaments should be a test of the anglers skill and the a-rig takes a lot of the anglers skill out of the equation just as live bait does.
