Warm-weather<br />

crappie bite,<br />

Ed Allen and<br />

residential<br />

mallard ducks<br />

Gary Simpson, in his weekly<br />

Gainesville Sun column, noted<br />

last week that fishermen were<br />

catching specks and some<br />

bass in the shallow water of<br />

Newnan’s Lake. That behavior<br />

is usually considered a prelude<br />

to spawning activity in the early<br />

spring. Typically, the crappie<br />

will precede the bass in their<br />

spring bedding.<br />

The crappie and bass in the<br />

Union, Bradford and southern<br />

Clay County lakes usually lag<br />

the shallower lakes of Alachua<br />

and Marion counties in their<br />

winter bite and spring spawning.<br />

This is especially true related to<br />

the deep water of Kingsley Lake.<br />

As a matter of fact, the crappies<br />

there have not even arrived in<br />

large numbers to the 18-footdepth-range<br />

of water where they<br />

typically locate in midwinter.<br />

Joey Tyson of Bald Eagle Bait<br />

and Tackle in Keystone Heights<br />

says he anticipates the local<br />

crappie spawn to correlate with<br />

the full moon that arrives on Jan.<br />

26. How this plays out will be<br />

interesting considering the mild<br />

winter we are experiencing.<br />

Despite the fact we are in the<br />

middle of what should be the<br />

peak crappie bite, we continue<br />

to get better bass reports. Ed<br />

Allen, fishing Sampson Lake<br />

on Jan. 4, caught approximately<br />

18 bass. The two largest were<br />

approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds<br />

and were released along with<br />

12 others. Allen was casting a<br />

deep-running, smoke-clear Shad<br />

Rap in approximately 12 feet of<br />

water.<br />

Shifting subjects to the topic<br />

of hunting, how would some of<br />

you avid wing shooters like to<br />

duck hunt this summer? Well,<br />

<strong>Fins</strong>, <strong>Fur</strong> & <strong>Tails</strong><br />

By Mickey Agner<br />

that is certainly possible if you<br />

obtain a free federal and state<br />

permit to do so. However, you<br />

must understand what a feral,<br />

domestic or residential mallard<br />

duck is, and you will also have<br />

to be able to distinguish them<br />

from the Florida mottled duck.<br />

Despite the fact the domestic<br />

mallard is less obvious at urban<br />

duck ponds today, the Florida<br />

Fish and Wildlife Conservation<br />

continues to estimate that about<br />

12,000 domestic mallards are<br />

purchased annually from farm<br />

stores in the state of Florida.<br />

These birds are sold with<br />

good intent and purchased for<br />

aesthetic purposes by consumers<br />

who want the attractive male<br />

mallard ducks with their dark<br />

green head in their local or<br />

private duck ponds.<br />

Unfortunately, there are<br />

some negative consequences to<br />

releasing these domestic ducks<br />

into the environment. First,<br />

the domestic mallard ducks do<br />

not migrate north during the<br />

summer breeding season. These<br />

ducks are sometimes referred<br />

to as residential ducks because<br />

they stay in Florida all year.<br />

Alternately, they are sometimes<br />

referred to as feral or domestic<br />

mallards.<br />

Second, the residential<br />

mallards tend to be romantically<br />

attracted to the native Florida<br />

mottled duck, which remains<br />

in Florida year round, and<br />

the two species do breed<br />

and produce a fertile hybrid<br />

duck. Unfortunately, the Florida<br />

mottled duck population is<br />

relatively small and confined to<br />

the Florida area. Consequently,<br />

the fear is the mottled duck<br />

population will become extinct if<br />

the well-intended but hazardous<br />

use of domestic mallard ducks is<br />

not reversed.<br />

Both the mallard and<br />

mottled ducks are very similar<br />

genetically. The male mallard<br />

is easily distinguished from<br />

mottled male and female ducks<br />

by its brilliantly colored green<br />

head. However, both the male<br />

and female mottled ducks are<br />

easily confused with the female<br />

mallard. All three of the ducks<br />

have a similar color pattern,<br />

but if placed adjacent to each<br />

other, the mottled duck is<br />

darker. Additionally, the female<br />

mallard has a notable white bar<br />

along her outer wing, which is<br />

not present in the mottled duck.<br />

Additionally, the mottled duck’s<br />

head is considerably lighter in<br />

color than the mallard.<br />

Like with feral hogs, the<br />

federal and Florida governments<br />

will issue free permits to hunt<br />

residential mallard ducks all<br />

year. Single hunters who apply<br />

for and obtain both permits are<br />

allowed to take up to 12,000<br />

residential mallard ducks and<br />

destroy up to 6,000 nests and all<br />

the eggs contained therein on a<br />

yearly basis. Any individual,<br />

who hunts, traps and removes<br />

nuisance animals as a service,<br />

must obtain the noted permits to<br />

exterminate residential mallard<br />

ducks.<br />

For the week ahead, you<br />

should experience some really<br />

active feeding times. On Friday,<br />

Jan. 11, the moon will be in its<br />

new moon phase. At this time<br />

it will be crossing the earth’s<br />

horizon almost simultaneously<br />

with the sun. Tidal changes<br />

during this time should be<br />

exceptionally strong, and,<br />

theoretically, the influence upon<br />

fish and game will be strong as<br />

well. The major feeding times<br />

will be when both the moon<br />

and sun are both overhead or<br />

underfoot, and the minor times<br />

will be when they are on either<br />

horizon.<br />

Keep your lines tight and hunt<br />

safely until next week.<br />

your name, those who<br />

still love you in death just<br />

the same. Many a day<br />

your name is spoken, and<br />

many an hour you are in<br />

our thoughts, a link in<br />

our family chain is<br />

broken, you have gone<br />

from our home but not<br />

from our hearts. Three<br />

little words, “Forget me<br />

not” don’t seem much,<br />

but mean a lot. A loving<br />

mother, so gentle and<br />

kind, what a wonderful<br />

memory you left behind.<br />

Till God himself knew<br />

what was best. He took<br />

you home and gave you<br />

rest. God saw the road<br />

was getting rough and the<br />

hills were hard to climb,<br />

so He closed your weary<br />

eyelids and whispered,<br />

“Peace, be thine”<br />

Love,<br />

Biotech students perform show and tell for family, friends<br />

Students in the biotech<br />

program at Bradford High<br />

School invited family<br />

members and friends to<br />

witness a mock crime<br />

scene and the resulting<br />

forensics work that might<br />

be done to determine a<br />

murder suspect. It was<br />

a chance not only for<br />

students to show off what<br />

they’ve been learning, but<br />

to show off new equipment<br />

that was purchased with<br />

the help of a grant. The<br />

exercise was also a chance<br />

for family members and<br />

friends to help with the<br />

experiments. LEFT: William<br />
