]]> As an angler, I am very concerned with conservation to ensure that I and the generations that follow can go fishing.  I was sent an article yesterday that I found really interesting.  It dealt with why fish were skinny in a small private lake.  Their conclusion after research was that the fish were eating soft plastics and could not digest them.  In turn the soft plastic blocked the digestive track.  The fish were trying to eat but couldn’t.  This shows us just how important proper disposal of our soft plastics can be.  There are occassions where we cannot help what has happened.  An example of this is a fish pulls it off the hook.  Please do your part to keep our fish healthy and dispose of your soft plastics properly so you or someone else can enjoy the benefits of fishing.  For those interested in the article I am referring to click the link below.

]]> I found this article on the bassmaster website.  Seems that we could be in danger of losing some of our favorite fishing spots because they are lumping recreational fishermen in with commercial fishing.  I am all for conservation, but the average angler does and will not hurt the population of fish in a body of water such as Lake Erie.  I do not know the exact details about the legislature.  All I know is what I have read from the article.  Below there is a link to the article on the bassmaster website.  http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/conservation/news/story?page=b_con_FedsAccess_20091005

Let’s help ensure that the best laws are passed to keep our waters open for safe healthy recreational fishing.  This will effect every fishermen whether you fish there 1 time each year or 100 times.  Good fishing.
