Hit Pelican last friday with little success. We moved 10-15 times. All fish that we caught were tiny. We ran into the DNR at the landing and they were doing a creel survey. They told us the DNR put out 28 nets last fall caught 4600 bluegills and 1500 crappies. They asked if we were for or against it. I gave them a piece of my mind. I dont agree with destroying a great fishery for duck hunting. I was a hardcore duck hunter but this state only hold local birds. The DNR said they would attract ducks from the dakotas. How and the hell would they do that? Send out flyer’s to the ducks? The lake is going to hell very fast and its a shame. DNR still stands for Do Nothing Right
If you talked with someone out on Pelican doing a creel survey this year, it would have been me. I would have told you that the DNR netted panfish out of Pelican back in 2008 and 2009, and that they stopped because the anglers got up in arms about it.
I would have understood your opposition to the lowering of the water levels, and I would not have claimed that the habitat project would attract ducks from the Dakotas. I am not a waterfowl expert.
If you think this habitat project is bogus, that’s fine by me, but please do not misrepresent the work that I do and the things that I say to people.
