Are the Amish cleaning the Walleye out of Nolin?

[JoeSkeeter]

Anybody have any proof? How can anybody believe that one religous sect can outfish everybody else? What makes "them" better walleye fishermen? When are they supposedly committing this crime? How many actually SEE the Amish fishing? Some of you fellas need to lay off the kool-aid.

I can tell you for a fact they are camped out on most of the points that are good for walleye every Saturday. And several per point. I have a place down there and am there almost every weekend. Do they really not have to abide by the regulations?

[DJD]

I read the 2009-2010 fishing regs on who needs a license and they qualify. So they would follow the rules or get ticketed right?

Maybe it happens and if it does go down there and call the law if not it really comes off as rumors.

If they arent following the rules like everyone else, espically us who pay for all this stuff with our fishing Lisc., boat taxes, fishing lures, etc. then they need to be taken to jail, and have a meeting with big bubba, maybe that will change their attitude a little, plus they wouldnt be able to sit on them hard seats for a while. In all seriousnous(sp) how can they get away with this if they are breaking the law? Some off you guys that fish Nolin, need to let them know what they are doing is illegal, and you dont appreciate it, and then call the law if you see them breaking it.

I was down at Nolin friday and saturday and where were 11 boats at the big island near wax. Yes they had many fish too.

Not to ruffle any feathers, but how come they are such better fishermen that they can catch walleye that you all can't. Also if they have taken all the walleye out of the lake then how come they can still catch them. Sound to me like you need to ask them how they catch them so you can catch some to.

Agreed. So they fish one day a week? I am gonna assume no gas motor. And they are outfishing you? This is laughable. Grow up men, and go catch some fish. Probably just a nightcrawler fished on bottom. It ain't like they are in market trawlers out there.

yes they do have gas motors.also i can guarantee you guys they "poach" no more fish from the lake then some of the taxpaying citizens that own camps down there..i saw with my own eyes when i lived down there many times people fishing on their docks and basketing every bass and crappie walleye of any size and hauling them up the hill to clean the evidence.and i would bet the amount of trees they cut down would pale in comparrison to what our society uses to keep the lavish houses built.

Q and A session:

1Q: Why don't Amish guys have 22 foot Bass boats with dual axle trailers, and 250 hp motors? A: Have you ever tried to ramp in a bass boat with a single horse drawn carriage?

2Q: Why don't the Amish Fish Cumberland? A: The ramps and access roads are too steep to pull a bass boat with a 1 horse carriage.

3Q: Why do the Amish put 12 people in a boat? A: Load testing. (see page 329, section A, paragraphs 3, 4 ,5 and 6 of the operator's manual for the Titanic)

4Q: Why can Amish catch so many more fish than I can? A: They spend more time fishing then messing with their electronics.

5Q: If the Amish can catch so many fish, what aren't there Amish fishing shows? A: Would you watch a show called "Wallye Fishing with Amos Stoltzfus"

6Q: Do the Amish pay taxes? A: Self-employed Amish do not pay Social Security tax. Those employed by non- Amish employers do pay Social Security tax. The Amish do pay real estate, state and federal income taxes, county taxes, sales tax, etc. The Amish do not collect Social Security benefits, nor would they collect unemployment or welfare funds.

7Q: Why do the Amish wear black? A: No visible nightcrawler dirt stains.

8Q: Can't I become Amish? A: No, most medical insurance will not pay benefits for "voluntary lobotomy procedures".

9Q: How many Amish will fit in a 12 foot Jon Boat? A: #1: Take the total number of fish consumed by the family per week, and divide that by the creel limit. The answer is the total number that "WILL" fit in the boat. A: #2. Take the total number of life jackets available, and multiply by the creek limit, then divide by the number of families to eat fish this week.
