But I bet you don't feel like catching stripers at Murray is Bill Dance bootlegging?
We do not fish much at Murray. We do most of our striper fishing on Wateree River. Honestly, it is not the ponds that bother me. If I had a pond, I would probably put fish in it and throw a line out to practice different baits and techniques (sp) but, I think it would become boring if that is all you fished. No serious challange in a hungry fish in a stocked pond. Remember the post on tame ducks? Tame fish, not much fun. LOL Wonder if they are as healthy too? You take a bunch of fish, put them in a pond, same water in the pond most of the time. Seems to me that would bring about fish that might carry more disease. Same fish fighting for the same food. Stress is a major factor.
Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.<br /><br />-Charlotte Whitton-
