Yes, I was aware of the closure at Casitas. I feel for you, what a bunch of B.S. I saw in one of your other posts you mentioned donating $100.00 per month. Was this to help with an attorney?. I was down at Casitas a few weeks back and was in at Eric's Tackle. He was talking about how they were in the makes of getting an attorney. I asked how I could help with this? If I could make a donation to help with attorney fees. He said it was already taking care of, not to worry. If you know something different let me know, check will be in the mail Monday. I take a trip every year down to Casitas for one week, sometimes I'm able to sneek a few other trips in, but I'm willing to fight for those days. Up until this nightmare at Casitas all started I was seriously looking into moving to the area.

You asked the question : How would you all feel if the world record was caught on a bed?

The chance of this happening is pretty darn good. Look at the whole crew down in San Diego. This is what they do every spring, hunt the shallows for the next world record. Every bass on the top 25 list was caught durring the months of the spawn. Myself, I really do not care if the next world record comes off a bed. I have thought for years that this was the way it was going to be done.

I have read some articles by biologists who claim that a released fish will still be able to spawn. I would like to hope this is true. If you look at a lot of the bass magazines this time of year they always have articles about targetting bed fish. I really hope we are not hurting these fish more then we know.


I really like your idea about closing off an area of the lake for spawning fish. I know there is some lakes that already do this but I think every lake should adopt this program.

The one great thing here is that we all share a common concern about the future of the fish. I think Carrot Top made a great point: If you want to bed fish do it....if you don't then don't.
