We seen a guy cast netting shad at the lower dam @ McAlpine on the island , after he left we went up there and fished a while
We seen a big pile of shad this guy left up there to die , but in the pile of shad there was like 5 baby stripers...this is not cool.
Please have some respect for the wonderful fishery we have at our finger tips !! This is wanton waste . There are rules about netting gamefish , if you do net a bass, sauger , Striper , you MUST immediatley return it to the water !!
I have a couple of buddies that commercial net the river for spoonies and they always return the stripers if they do net one .
If they were to get caught netting game fish , they told me the DNR could take their boat . It is just like poaching a deer .
Please have some repsect for our Ohio River
