Go ahead, fish. Make my day.
Each spring, Vermonters partake in an unusual fishing practice by Casey Ryan Vock
It's probable that every avid fisherman, at one time or another, experiences a frustrating and catchless day. They no doubt brainstorm all the other possible ways to extract fish from the water like using nets or spears. Eventually, their thoughts inevitably drift toward the drastic: �Say, maybe we could use guns to blast them right out of the water...�
Some Vermonters have felt this way for a long time, many still do. For two months during the Spring season, fishermen substitute bait and lures with bullets. From March 25 to May 25, gunmen peer into Lake Champlain, some from tree limbs. All focusing and searching for the big one in a practice that started long ago.
