Has it really gotten worse?
I think it is actually getting better from what ive been reading.
At least now everyone admits those fish are being snagged and not actuallly biting the wool.
This one is going to take a long time but eventually it will phase out.
I said eventually.
Wrong, it has not gotten better and it's not going to without an organized effort to combat it.
I think what bbronswyk2000 meant is that we don't have to talk about every time we report on something but there should be some discussion and awareness of it.
Wrong again, fish bite the wool. Some wool.
On some days I catch 15-20 chum in a day and not one is foul hooked.
Usually when it turns on for a few hours you get a fish every 4th or 5th cast. Then the bite turns off and I can't get one for hours.
How do you explain that some people catch more chum in the same run at the same time?
The color of wool.
So they do bite.
However, I can see where you are coming from...
Snaggers will put wool when they are fishing the fast water, because it doesn't make sense to just have a bare hook.
I'm turning this into another snagging thread... sorry bbronswyk2000.
