Catch and release

[observer135]

See, that is what I could use a ton of help with, targeting...

I am a total idiot when it comes to selecting the right setup/bait to target a specific fish, so I could get in lots of trouble catching the wrong kind of fish, combine that with my next to non existent ability to identify the fish, it is the perfect recipe for disaster.

Twenty years ago a buddy and I were fishing in Creditview River and it just happened there were some small dead fish some one had caught before we got there. The officer shows up and gave us $hit for catching the wrong fish, out of season.
We explained that was not us and we would have not kept 5 inch fish, he looked again and realized they were not fresh so he believed us and moved on.

Now I try to learn about targeting and I have to do some homework, just when I thought school was over, guess again.
