[quote lavaman]hey ETD, no disrespect intended, but how many years have you fished Mantua?
that's what I thought.[/quote]
I just get a kick on how you believe that too many fisherman on the ice kill the fishing. Those weed beds in the water change the water quality after the 1st month or so of ice....which drops the catch rates at that water. Go to the library and pick up a book.....facts like that are easy to find.
Now I will agree with you somewhat when it comes to Utah Lake and White Bass. Since there is no limit it only takes 20 people taking 100 to equal 2,000 harvested in a day. In a small harbor it only takes a weekend to slow the catch rates down.
You have your opinions and I have mine. Mine come from books and yours comes from 1st hand expirence. I just love how because you have a fishing rod, a fish finder, time out on the water, and an ice auger, that somehow makes you a wildlife biologist.
