YO-YOING POGIES

[big jay]

I really wish everyone everywhere would get the heck off this topic.

IMHO -- all that On the Water article and every post and letter complaining about the technique managed to accomplish was getting 3000 more people that had never heard of yo-yoing to go try it.

So now instead of a limited # of people that know the technique using it, you have every tom #^&#^&#^&#^& and harry that doesn't know what the hell they're doing stuffing crap in pogies trying to discover the "deadly technique" that they read about.

I'm sure intentions were sound, but the reality IMHO, is there is now more crap in the water than their ever was before -- you know, back when people knew how to keep their YAPS shut.

(and if this post is perpetuating the problem - I'll go look in the mirror and call myself an idiot too).

I have done it once, and know people that do it commercial, and for the life of me I can't understand why??

Get up 2am go find the bait, then spend the next couple of hours rigging the bait, Now head out for the bass, you catch a ton. go to the market and sell, now go wash the boat and get ready for the next day.

Lets see that was a 18 hour day not to mention the gas and stuff, what did you make today when it was all said and done?? $3 a hour

Nope not for me!! I rather use some ells and if I really needed to there is wire jigging, But I hate that to LOL

I wasn't sure if I wanted to respond to this post for the stated reason but I already know I am...

However, I am not sure that the negative publicity is going to greatly increase the occurance, but you might be right.

Seems like they could just be 3-wayed...

Well if we all kept out YAPS shut and never gave our opinions (almost all seem to be negative) then perhaps he would have taken that for maybe everyone is doing it. Then all you have is one more person giving it a try that knows relatively little about the "proper" way of doing it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice talking about something you don't want to talk about in order to share all the negative side affects about it. People are quick to assume, but if they hear 20 board members saying it can be a detrimental act, then perhaps they will not try it themselves. But you at least have to talk about it......
