HAS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA LOST IT'S MIND

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
that's rediculous..they been there for years so why don't they just keep them here. well if they're gonna kill them, do it AFTER i fish for them..
 
This is exactly why there are laws on people buying certain types of species in certain states. Another one of Cali's great ideas. I was supposed to go out fishing for them, but never got a chance. The poisoning didnt work the first time and I doubt it will work this time, but oh well. The problem is the original fish were probably someone's pets, so I am sure even if they did erradicate them all, someone will still plant more in there.

Cut the head off, and throw it back into the lake to show them we mean business. LOL Sounds like something Schwarzenegger might say in Terminator lol

Yes, all fish will be killed, and probably most of the inverts, other verts, etc, and people will be affected by this poison in the water. (AGAIN) Thank GOD Florida isn't this stupid.

hey let's go. why couldn't you go the last time?
 
Oh... man. I don't know to do... to shun them or to laugh. It is best to conserve our ecosystem, but once it messed up, it is near impossible to revert it. So rather than trying to control them, they are going to make the problem WORSE?
 
For the last decade, the state of California has waged a Sisyphean battle against the northern pike.

I'm not a big Trout fisherman, but last time I did check out Trout they where a Cold water species. And I don't recall California being that cold, but I could be wrong about that. Though I have never heard anyone talk about going to California to go Trophy Trout Fishing, though I have heard people talk about LMB Fishing their. Most people I know talk about great Trout fishing in MN, NY, AK.


methods, including poison , electro-fishing, explosives and decidedly low-tech nets, have varied, the results have remained the same. "We’ve taken 65,000 pike out of the lake," said Steve Martarano, a spokesman for the State Department of Fish and Game. "And we haven’t made a dent.

At a cost of more than $25 Million Dollars, that's $16 million dollars for last-ditch effort to rid the lake of pike this past week, plus $9.2 million dollars for the settlement back in 1977, total $25.2 million dollars or $387.69 per pike -for the 65,000 they've taken out so far.:screwy: :screwy: :screwy:


It is not the first time the state has used rotenone in Lake Davis. In 1997, officials used a powdered form of the poison , which fouled the lake, Portola’s longtime water supply. (The town now primarily draws its water from wells.) The state later approved a $9.2 million settlement with the city and the county for businesses, homeowners and local residents. And, two years later, the pike were back.

Rotenone is going to kill everything that doesn't have lungs to breath with, and for what?, so that after there finished they can then re-stock the lake with Trout?!?! Who in there right mind is gonna wanna fish for Trout or anything else in a Poisoned Lake? You can't eat' em, heck I wouldn't wanna even touch fish from a poisoned lake. Who knows what that Rotenone Poison will do to you "concerns have been raised about links to Parkinson’s disease and some types of cancer".
