Is bed fishing good for our sport...I don't think so, I don't do it but
that's just me.


Personally, I think that as long as the fish is caught, photo'd and
immediately released, it doesn't harm a thing.

When it gets fuzzy is when bedding bass are caught under tournament
conditions. I've read studies that say it can harm a fishery, leaving
unprotected nests. By the same token, I've read studies that claim it
doesn't hurt a fishery in the long run. I just wish I could put my fingers
on both studies.......
