Default Re: Opinions on Snake Heads

Again an example from my home state.. the gobies in cayuga lake have just about eradicated the slower, and very timid sculpin .. they just can't compete with the ultra aggressive goby, and are doomed to extinction in the lake..
However, i can still put a sculpin on a hook in cayuga by law, although they are being wiped out.. However, the gobies that have destroyed them, and are decimating the lake are off limits as far as using for bait in the lake they have already ruined.. Some "fisheries expert" dreamed that law up, and most anglers adhere to it I imagine.. So protect the invader in this case, and do NOT protect the species going extinct because of them.. Makes perfect sense to some i guess. Not to me.... bob
