AMISH NAVY...YOU GUYS EVER SEE THE AMISH ON A WEEKEND AT PYMIE, I HEAR THEY TAKE THOUSANDS OF CRAPPIE/BLUEGILLS, ANY SIZE..EVERY WEEKEND..THEY ARE FISH HOGS, LIKE THEY ARE DEER HOGS, I KNOW FOR FACT ONE AMISH GUY HAD 109 CRAPPIES/GILLS ONE DAY AND WAS THROWING THEM ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE THE COOLER WAS FULL..SHOULD PUT A LIMIT ON CRAPPIE BEFORE THEY FISH IT OUT.

 
Would you consider yourself racist?
I would hate to think you are judging amish people by a few you have dealt with. I, for one, have had good experience with amish sportsman.

Isnt there a 50 fish limit?

When does Amish season open?

EDIT: dammit, mike beat me to it. Also, I hope none of the amish who read this are offended, it was meant in jest.

mikeg, I have dealt with alot of Amish professionally and personally. You will find that they are much like the rest of us, some good some not. Don't assume that they're any different than the average person you would meet.
 
I will say that I can understand (not necessarily agree with) 270's view. Granted it's not against the law and makes little difference to me, but I've seen them on local lakes with stringers full of 3" crappie. They told me they grind the whole fish up and make fish patties out of them. I do believe that they could put a serious hurtin' on some fisheries. Again, it's legal and it's a free country (or used to be) so until something changes they can have at it.

Unfotunately you are not correct Mike. If you have a valid Ohio license you can keep as many as you want. Heres the link:

NOLIMIT IN PA..YOU GUYS DON'T REALLY KNOW THE AMISH, BELIEVE ME..KNOW OF A  FAMILY THAT SHOT 70 DEER, 4 SONS AND A DAD, ALL LEGAL , 80% IN PA,  BUT WHERE ARE THERE ETHICS..WHATS ENOUGH..I HAVE KNOW AMISH FOR 30 YEARS, AND NOT ALL ARE HOGS, BUT SOME ARE OUT OF CONTROL WITH KILLING. THEY GO TO ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND SHOOT FAWNS WITH SPOTS IN SEPTEMBER, WOW, THATS REALLY BEING A SPORTSMAN..

what hole/bridge did you crawl out of???
 
 
 
 
 
and will you go back?

Pymy has no limit on panfish,it a shame,but if they got lips and a tail they take them home.They keep any short fish eyes,bass what ever. I watched a Pa. warden check several boats for this and that ,but turned the other cheeck when they came in.If you own land NEVER let them log it,after they ripped you off,they will try to get hunting rights and desimate the herd,I had a little honey hole for deer on the Pa.,Ohio border,they log it and the land owner gave them hunting rights,they shot over 60 deer,if its brown its down.Back in the 70's I icefished Wilhem for giant gills over 9 inches that didn't last too many year,they would hit it twice a day,and take double limits,they can mess up a good thing fast.

Nice post. While it may be in poor taste to classify a certain type of people as "bad" based on the observations of a few, it is no better to classify a certain type of people as "good" based on those same observations. Still attempting to decipher how the original statement was racist.

Really? You've seen a bunch of these people all fishing without licenses? How do you know if they are Amish, Menonites, or Quakers? I guess it doesn't matter. They're all the same right and they don't dress like us. 

I guess since the rednecks are making meth they can afford to buy one and obey the law. I bet all politicians hunt without hunting licenses though like****Cheney 'cause they don't make that much.

I know plenty of paleface deer hogs while we're on the subject of ethics. They don't tag them all either. Probably United Methodists most of them. Jesus. Woops....... 

For the record..... all Italians aren't short tempered either. Those Croatians are though. They drink too much like the Irish. LOL

Now those orientals.... they're the ones cleaning out all the fish and giving the Amish a bad name. They just do it at night so you don't know. Their girls are hot though so it doesn't bother me. Again..... git yerself one and have fish for life and you'll feel better. They don't have fish fries though. They eat it raw so you may wanna stick with the Amish ones.  

Look up stereotyping and get back to us.

actually I grew up in Titusville. I knew all the amish and none purchased license.
they harvest the land deer,turkey,grouse,pheasant and a number of other critters.
fish are thier favorite,Oil creek is fished the day they stock it.

I see "amish" purchasing fishing licenses all the time...so they must know the law one would think. Also are the amish born natural fishing machines since they can clean out a lake in no time?
They sure as hell have not decimated the LM bass population at wilhelm which they fish all the time...tournaments with the unintential delayed kill probally account for more dead bass then the amish would be my guess. plus in 7 plus years of weekly fishing wilhelm and Pymatuning I have yet to see a Dutchman with a boat load of walleyes I would also be willing to bet that a biologist or fisheries manager would would recommend keeping a bunch of small bluegills from any body of water anybody want to email the local fish manager for a answer on that.
Lets just take the fish hog thing one step further I have yet to see a dutchman aka amish cleaning out a trout stocked stream in mercer county but have seen a few englishmen catch and keep more than 5 trout.
 
All of my brief experiences with the Amish are positive & freindly for all you "blue army" bashers what are they better fisherman than you that you need to blame them for poor fishing. 
 
As closing comment yes the Amish need to follow the laws 50 bluegills that is the daliy limit...but I personally have never seen a amish man with a bucket of of more than 50 gills in my estimation let alone a bucket of bass or walleyes       

 SOME OF YOU POSTERS EITHER NEVER HUNTED NEAR THEM OR FISHED BY THEM, I HAVE , NOTHING LEFT, NOT A RACIST, JUST FACTS, THEY SHOOT DEER AND GIVE THEM AWAY, THEY ARE  GOVERNED BY THE SAME LAWS WE ARE, THEY HAVE TO BUY LICENSES, SURPRISED SOME OF YOU THINK THEY ARE EXEMPT, WAIT TIL A VAN LOAD OR TWO COME TO YOUR FAVORITE DEER AREA , THEN YOU WILL SEE..ON AMISH GUY SHOT 18, FACT, LAST YEAR AND BROTHER ONLY HAD 16 SO HE SHOT 2 ILLEGALLY TO TIE HIS BROTHER, NOW THATS BEING A SPORTSMAN..
