Bass in a Aquarium
Where do you see me being argumentative?
Bahhh... Warren "Rodney Long" wrote in message ... WARREN WOLK wrote: Warren you just want to argue. a person buying a couple of bass for an aquarium is not "stocking" a lake, and few states require a "stocking permit" for a private pond, only those money hungry states that try to "tax" everything do that. The cool thing about housing them in tanks (especially "hawg troughs" or "tubs") is that they will eat almost anything when hungry, especially if several bass are present. Those tanks are a great means of selling lures to people that aren't aware of this. I once saw Shaw Grigsby tie his car key to a line &, you guessed it, they tore it up when tossed in the traugh. Lol... Warren ;-) A "hungry" bass will hit anything moving, """"anywhere"""", even in the wild, I've had them hit a red and white round bobber, I've seen them caught on everything , including an old pop top, and a table spoon. I have also seen many, many, pro's , use every trick they knew, and their favorite lures and not get a bass to hit in a tub, not a single strike. This is especially true after the bass have been tricked by lures for hours, or even days. Anyone who has ever watched "many" tub demo's, has witnessed this, many times. Sure a few times the fish are on, but most of the time they are not. These fish come from the wild, at each location (wild to them anyway, as most are borrowed from stocking companies) then placed in a glass cage that they can see you, and the crowd, as well as people can see them, and they hear all the noises that are there. This must be quite a shock on them Most "pro's" explain that they are just scenery, in the tank, what they want to show is how lures act underwater, if a fish under those conditions actually strike, it's gravy on the steak. I've seen many top pros strike out, and I have seen bass hit anything thrown in the tank,, for a while, anyway. I would bet a key worked by many pros in any body of water could draw a strike every once in a while, when bass are hitting you can catch them on anything moving, and sometimes anything not moving. The trick is getting them to bite when they are not in the feeding mode. This is what fishermen want to learn how to do. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Mojo SpecTastic "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread, Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

I think the permit thing applies in most states Bill, at least the ones
where the fisheries managers have brains. Warren "Calif Bill" wrote in message ink.net... "Rodney Long" wrote in message ...

Warren Maybe we lack in brains in Texas, or maybe we just hold on to what few freedoms we have left a little tighter. When you want some Florida-strain LM, or hybrid bluegill, or catfish, or minnows for your private tank anround here, you call the local ranch and feed store and ask them what day the fish truck comes by. Fish farmers have routes where they hit each community about once a month through the spring and summer. you buy what you want and take it home. After saying that, I will go on to say that I have no idea what regulations the fish farmers have to comply with. They may be restricted as to what species they can sell. Here's a link to one of the biggies: http://www.dunnsfishfarm.com/ I didn't find anything on the Texas parks and Wildlife site about permits, but they do provide information to help educate you on private pond/lake management. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwate...private_water/ |

On 17 Sep 2006 14:15:30 -0700, "Muskoka Fisherman"
puked: My wife is a teacher at a highschool in Ontario, Canada. Does anyone know if it's legal or possible to keep Largemouth bass and sunfish in a aquarium at her school. Would it be hard to keep or too messy? Just couldn't pass up pointing out that a Largemouth bass is, in fact, a sunfish itself... -- lab~rat :-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere? |

that's why the South is just being bombarded by non-native species. I think
FL has more non-natives than natives in the fisheries there. Warren "Calif Bill" wrote in message link.net... "Henry Hefner" wrote in message oups.com...
