thats okay, I found a solution, 95% of my fishing is now on private water or out of state where things like cast nets and live bait are not looked at like the scourge folks here seem to think they are! If it wasn't for the couple of friends I fish with now and then I wouldn't even buy a Nebraska permit here anymore,and now the nebraks resisdent permit costs almost as much as the ks.,ok.,and tx non-resident permits.
You want to attract more people to fishing,get back to the basics and quit trying to act like your elitist approaches should apply to everyone else. Sometimes it's nice to just go fish without worrying about if your holding the fish right,and I don't worry about it when the fish is headed for the frying pan anyway.
Oh yeah one other thing,bluring the photos! If you don't want everyone to see the pic don't freakin post it at all,problem solved,nobody wants to see your little fish taken out of contrast anyway. what a joke.

I'm just glad that there are other folks on here that have taken upon themselves to 'fill in' while Shorty and I are on break...
I've fished 'those other states' and I have to say this: Nebraska rival any/all of them when it comes to opportunities to catch good fish...while our environment and natural resources may not rival 'those other states' I will put our fishing opportunities up against any...
There are places here where big wipers, flatties, channels are available. Places where, if you take the time to learn and figure them out you can catch monster walleyes...and lots of opportunities for bass, bluegill and crappie.
I've spent my share of time in states like KS, MO, IA, CO, WY, SD, OK and TX fishing for various species...it's darned tough to catch a bunch of 12inch crappie there too...and the numbers of 'big fish' aren't any different on a anglers per basis I don't believe...
I've spent a lot of time learning some local waters...and really love to fish them. I've also noticed over the years that 'moving' from lake to lake every weekend actually makes it harder to be successful.
The best fishing I ever had was on Zorinsky while unemployed...I was able to fish every day...and able to locate the bass and 'stay on them' as they moved...if I caught less than 30 in a day, it was a bad day.
Knowledge is and always will be the key to success.
It really bothers me when I hear folks 'take shots' at NE fishing...no, it's not El Salto or Mille Lacs...it's NEbraska...with it's own uniqueness and quirks...but if you can 'fish successfully here' you can fish successfully anywhere...
If a fisheries isn't 'on par' with Texoma...I believe the first place to 'look' is SURFACE ACRES...not NGPC...
Thank you very much.
