My biggest gripe is "sight fishing" the bass while they are spawning, catching both the male and female, then taking them 30 or more miles away to the weigh-in site. Kiss those bass babies goodbye with mom and pop now gone! Also during the Classic this year a couple of guys were fishing in deep water, watching their lure on their fish finder, and when they saw a bass approach moving it toward them...this isn't fishing it's playing a video game!

Hey Mike welcome back I'm retired just over two years now, if you are looking for a buddy with a boat to fish on Hoover let me know. Not sure how to share personal contact information on this forum as I just joined but I'm sure someone will let us know!

Hello, looking for a fishing buddy, preferably retired like me. Have a 14' boat perfect for bass fishing and shallow waters, live near and mainly fish out of the Twin Bridges and Oxbow boat ramps. Strictly artificial lures and catch and release. Prefer to go during the week when less busy on the lake and at the ramps. Since retiring in May 2013 I've been fishing and charting those areas using blow-up lake maps to mark catches, and recording and charting all pertinent information about the catch, or even those hooked and lost! Need someone to go with me as my wife won't let me go alone, and she only goes when it's 75 and sunny!
