Congrats to your son on a good fish, but unfortunately the SCWA is HORRIBLE organazation!

Originally posted by CaptCraftonThe real truth is Tred just made a bad gaff shot and the fish pulled the gaff thru and broke the leader. Just fishing, I guess. He fished with me on Thursday and I really enjoyed having him on board. He is a good sport and takes it as good as he gives, and believe me we gave it to him! It was a good time for all the kids and adults alike.

That’s the truth. One guy was totin around a 5 gal bucket with what looked like a dozen peanut dolphin in it. They sure as heck didn’t teach the kids anything about conservation.
I’m getting four-foot-itis!!!
Nice fish - I hope some of the parents can distinguish the good from the B.S. with Barta/SCWA.
I wonder if anybody on the boat yelled at Barta for missing that wahoo like he does to the guy who fishes with him (Olaf, I think is his name). I’ve always waited for the day when Olaf turned around and smacked Tred in the lip in front of his little boy.
Your spot on PairoDice, Tred and Wielicki have I’m sure planned a “put and take” duck hunt for this upcoming “waterfowl” season in Rimini. What a wonderful example of what NOT to teach kids about hunting.

What exactly has the SCWA done to you guys? Not a smarta$$ question, but for real.
I can understand some of you being against “put out ducks” for the purity of the sport. Perhaps some people will take up duck hunting, other types of hunting and being outdoors because of the opportunities of put out ducks, but you are against it. OK, what else? Do you think it’s bad that Camp Woodie is trying to get kids outdoors and keep them there instead of playing video games?
Tred can rub people the wrong way. There is a LOT of BS in him. However, he truly believes that kids are the future of out outdoor heritage. When he asked all of the kids that caught fish how many of you were offshore for the first time, much more than half raised their hands. Why? Why aren’t they fishing with their dads at other times than this tournament?
He talks of conservation all of the time. Yes, there were some peanuts weighed in. That’s up to the parents. Your kid goes offshore for the first time, he catches a peanut. Let him be happy and weigh it in, or release it. I’m not going to get holier than thou either way.
I’ve known David Wielicki for over 20 years. I haven’t always agreed with everything that SCWA has done, but David is a truly nice guy and he cares about the resource. He lives it and breathes it.
hey i agree with them cause it is keepin kids away from drugs and video games and one day all of yall will be thankful when that generation is takin yall fishing i mean yea they were some smaller fish weighed but that is the good thing about it they will be replenished by next year and plus to see the smile on those kids faces was worth it, and plus if all you try and do is go after the big fish all the time it can be boring cause the first couple of times i went i went marlin fishing and didnt catch a fish all day and i almost just was bored with the sport so catchin small fish is fun for the kids and think about the dads they are looked up to as heros by there kids because they caught a little 5 pound dolphin that is what makes it fun.

David Wieliki only lives and breathes money. He’s made lots of it, while making people like DonQ think he’s a conservationist (SCWA does nothing to conserve anything but donors money - and he/they use that to buy property for their pleasure). I think getting the kids outdoors is a wonderful thing, and we should be proud of him for that, but not teaching kids to believe they are hunting real ducks.
Short grass and tight lines, make a man feel so fine!
i mean i wasnt saying that to be rude and i hope to everyone who read that didnt think i was trying to be mad i dont know wieliki or anything about him and to tell you the truth i dont really know much about SCWA all i really care about is that the kids are having fun cause hunting and fishing have kept me straight for all these years and i know i have had great memories with family and friends over the years but i would like to send an apology if anyone thought i was being mean or being a jackass i wasnt trying to come off as one i just want the kids to have fun
