I can understand the argument that there are no signs saying fishing is off limits. However I also believe there is a sense of respect and dignity that should be paid to those who have gone before us.
If you (or anyone) is so hard up to catch fish because you can't catch them anywhere else, go to one of Ed's seminars and learn how. There are plenty of good places to fish in near-by areas.
I don't mean dis-respect to anyone on these bulletin boards. I thank all of you who have helped me out (Lord knows I need it). But if I was burying someone I loved for who knows how many years, the last thing I would want to see after laying them to rest would be some person over at the near by fishing pond not giving a rats a_ _ about anyone but themselves.
Let's all stop acting like a bunch of kids screwing around in AOL chat rooms and start helping each other learn how to fish and share the stories we have.
Pardon my soap box. I'll step down now.
-Peace to all of you!
