Exclamation Gull lake fishing concerns, very depressing

Ok the winter of 2012 me and my father caught 105 whitefish, this year 2013 I caught 1.... Only 1 this year at the same location... I believe in God and know this is a sign for something, yet I don't know what....

It is a sign that the fish moved and you should have tried a different location...

Sounds like you fished yourself out of a spot.

This sounds like an act of GOD, the seals have been broken and the rapture has arrived. People start building your arc's, repent your sins the time of judgement is upon us. Or maybe you need to move around a bit exploring the possibility of fish behaviours changing / evolving to different feeding patterns.

Perhaps it was you who has sinned and turned the wrath of god upon your self - you must make penance and regain his favor - sacrifice 10 whitefish and all will be well .....

uh ..... wait ...... one white will do ....... then after ...... move to another spot and god may find favor upon you.

Just a guess you were fishing sunset? We did awesome there last year, and barely seen any this year, moved to spots we usually didnt see whites( pike/ ling spot) and did great. Gull is not dead at all. But im glad they lowered the limit on whites, and think the large pike should be released...

This is now the funniest thing Ive read this year....me and my son Laughed our guts out.

And the EZM has to chime in and take it to the level of rolling on the floor.

You guys are too much......man that was a good laugh.....wish I fished with guys that had your wit......versus the nitwit!

Well.... I believe its a sign alright . Its a sign that If everyone catches & keeps that many , the fish population declines ? Just my 2 cents .

I am curious.....did you catch a total 105? Or catch and keep 105?

.....depending on what your answer to that question is I think you may partially answer another question

Default Whites at Gull

Don't fish for them, saw a ton this year, enjoy the relaese of the fish as much as the hook up, why would you need 105 whitefish, sounds like the fish gods are limiting your catch for you, KARMA.
