Summers O.K. because they're not spawning, or feeing heavily. When their spawning, they're days away from laying eggs. Why not let them get rid of thier eggs first, then catch them? I think catch and release should be manditory in Spring and Fall because in fall the females are feeding heavily to noursih their eggs. Infact in Fall they are more vulnurable because of that.
