Default Fishing Ethics

I was just reading some of the comments about the lack of courtesy by some fishermen. Personally, I think that we should have a forum topic on Ethics, how about it, moderators? Most experienced Salty Cajuns are aware of proper ethics but we get a lot of reads from non-members and some people really don't know when to shut down the big engine and put down the trolling motor or how close is too close. The ones who don't care probably won't ever change but we may educate a few. I watched a segment on TV the other day by Rick Clunn on Fishing Ethics. He related a story that when he was young, he and his dad were catching trout one day in Galveston Bay when several boats came in too close and messed up their fishing. His dad was so upset that he quit saltwater fishing and started bass fishing on Sam Rayburn. This incident started Rick on his career with the Bass Masters - Amazing! Sometimes good comes from bad. I watched another TV segment by my idol - Larry Dahlberg. He put hydrophones in the water and listened to the sounds that different baits made. I single blade spinnerbait makes a racket under the water. Outboards and trolling motors make lots of noise but fish get accustomed to some of these noises. I think that some saltwater fish have come to associate free food with the sounds of shrimpers, crabbers, and oystermen. We sometimes tend to attribute great powers of reasoning to game fish. I think that fish have some very acute senses and some basic instincts that serve them well but they have very little reasoning ability. Just my thoughts, they are probably worth what they cost you, $ 0.00
