Smallmouth Poaching on Dale

[bassin_bug]

Im not confused! You saw the fish. I can catch a few here and there but coolers full is a little stretched! I also have a few honey holes and I have never in my life caught a cooler full of smallmouth. Maybe an exceptional day 1/8 of a cooler but not 3 to 6 days in a row! Lets get down to reality! Im sure you saw a big stringer with alot of short fish. Those guys must be offspring of Billy Westmoreland using a silver buddy with a succer minnow as a trailer.

I did not say "coolerS full" and I did not say "3-6 days in a row." You used the "confused" icon and I got the impression you were confused. I can see where this is going; just because YOU never caught a cooler full of smallmouths establishes a precedence that it isn't possible for anyone else to do it. I don't do geaneology so I don't know who those guys are related to and I don't search tackle boxes to see what is inside.

This is getting down to REALITY: Why do you have to be one of the people on this board who is always mixing up the posts and then trying to turn it into a full-blown argument? Why do you think some people are not happy to read your comments?

OK lets end this. You are right, you never mentioned a cooler or any time frame. Just to clear things up I have never caught a cooler full of smallmouth and nobody else has unless were talking about a lunch bucket!

Again this guide mentioned the extensive use of Gill Nets. That will catch lots of all kinds of fish and would be easy to catch COOLERS with an S doing that sort of thing. People that poach anything, i.e. deer, fish, whatever don't go out and try to conventionally do it the way you and I do. There are also some that use homemade shockers that tear fish a new one to. Think about it, they aren't out there just casting for them.
