There is just one more thing we can do.  According to O. T. Fears, at the
96
B.A.S.S. Fishing Techniques seminar in Westboro, Mass., in March; he says we
should join organizations like the National Rifle Association (NRA), and
her
wildlife conservation agencies (not supported by or supporting PETA - of
course), and work with them to short-circuit the efforts of PETA (and Pisces)
to deprive us of our rights and privileges.  But we have to do something NOW!

KNOW that you all fish because you LOVE THE BASS, just like me.  And we have
paid for the privilege to be on the water without harassment by folks who can
do no more than make claims that we are hurting the fish.  In fact, all the
evidence shows that outdoorsmen have done more, and are doing more, for the
environment than all these pseudo-environmentalists combined.  With the facts
presented here, cool heads in the heat of conflict, and positive, assertive

Hallo Dave!!
Here in Germany  are not so many competitions/tournaments like
in America! Since a couple of years  the most competitions
has been forbidden! "Protections of animals" have contributed a large part!
Now there are only "larger" competitions  like for example
German - championships or Europe - championships!
And the winners of these competitions do not become so
known like in America. You can see them at most in catalogs or
on fair etc. However not on rods!

Well  you have to remember the primary purpose of a lure isn't to catch

I wouldn't do the $50 deal often...What I did buy 2 years ago before
they became popular was the Bigmouth series of videos by Glen Lau. My
wife gets pissed because I haven't watched them all but I'm saving them
like a bottle of fine wine. However the one I have seen is enough to
tell me  they are great. I can recommend them highly..Not to mention
the set is $30 cheaper than when I bought them. Now that I have built a
building for the boat I'll be able to go out and fiddle with the
boat..I  cleaned on it this evening after work. I'm going to try and

You got that straight.  We have the Cominco smelter on the BC side that
has dumped a bunch of bad stuff in the Columbia, Lake Roosevelt on our
side.  I use to fish a lot there in the 80's for Walleye. Then in 1990
or so the state came out and there was a scare as to how much fish you
could eat by various species and they were telling pregnant women not
eat any fish coming out of the resevour.  I quit fishing and have not
gone back since.  I guess they have tempered what they are telling
people now but I still don't feel comfortable eating fish that are at
the top of the food chain from there any more. When I get to be about 70
and have nothing to lose i try some of them again. Ha Ha

I have never caught or fished for Striped Bass.  Two years ago I passed

worried about the Fed. having chained/blocked off entrance to the dam
gorge.  I guess the Fed got all excited after the Oka. bombing and
thought some nuts might try to blow up the dam. Anyway the F&G guy said
that if the fishermen could not get in to fish out the Striped Bass
population each spring when they come there to spaun in front of the
dam, that the numbers of fish would increase to the point of destroying
all the other fish in the reservoir.  I did some investigating and found
out that the fishermen harvest about 20,000 fish a month over a 3 month
period each year there.
I have been wanting to go give that a try ever since! Does any one know
any thing about fishin there and what time of year, tackle etc is
needed? How is the weather and what kind of licenses, boat do you need.
I see there is a big camp ground there.  Any one ever go fishing for
Striped bass there?
