unattended rod

I recieved my first infraction from the california fish and game today. It was for fishing with an unattended rod. I have had a valid license as well as a 2 pole stamp forever.The warden said he had been watching me and he saw me walk away from my 2nd rod. I plan on fighting it because i was fully capable of getting to it if i had a hit. Has anyone ever heard of such nonsence in Ca?

ATTENTION OLD SCHOOL CRAPPIE FISHERMEN.

I have been told by 2 different people that there is a old school technique of fishing for crappie. The way it was explained to me is to cut below the lip of a crappie, pull on some type of membrane underneath and a forked tongue shaped piece of something will come off . You use this to jig with and it drives them wild. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Need Your Help

I am catching a variety of panfish at this time. Can someone help me identify them. There seems to be quite a difference in their color and shape.

Fishing 11 mph nw winds

Im planning on going out tommorrow and driving 70 miles to fish in 11mph winds. Did it a few weeks ago and with a float 4 ft of leader and a red and white 1/80 jig I slaughtered some nice 8-10 inch bluegill and about 9 crappie. Wind did all the work for me. I live to tip my jigs with a little piece of meal worm. anyone have any good tips on panfishing windy conditions?

Big Bluegill smashing in Southern California.

I am in the coachella Valley area of southern California. I have been catching big bluegill for my entire life and have some incredible fishing holes nearby. Anyone in my area ?
