Last year I sold my tank and vowed not to fish candy again. If the run is that decimated then it should be shut down for a while. As far as the 6 and 12 rule they wanted to implement that is illegal. Since they took federal money there is no favoritism allowed. Plus with taking the feds money a person was allowed 25 on take days. This was a great run, I am not sure it all can be blamed on low water. 3 years ago there were so many herring in the ponds that the water was" dying" The herring would go up and lay their eggs on top of other eggs that were already there and so it went Well when too many layers of eggs built up, then you couple that with the low water you get a high mortality rate. Part of this I blame on the town with mismanagement problems. Yes I did witness on a few occaissions people taking hundreds which I thought was kind of stupid. I would go to the run with a fishing partner or my wife and take 50 baits (I mean how many do ya need). My livewell set up could handle this many comfortably with minimal loss.
Bass candy fishing is the nutz and a real rush but not worth it . Everybody wants to be your friend ( I was getting calls all the time when I fished them) But nobody wants to help with the rest of it. OH well didn't mean to get off track....
