That's going to be tough gig. Some of the most 'perfect' looking spec lakes have nothing in them, other lakes that you'd never guess have brookies by looking at them, are loaded, lol. Personally I'd pick a few and see what you turn up. Clear/blue looking lakes on Google maps should be spring fed opposed to dark stained ones, I'd probably try those first if you've got a choice.

Dave, they've got different angles then the ones we see through the live feed (At least that's what they say everytime something is reviewed, lol!)

I dunno how Berkley hasn't figured out to make these containers not leak.

Sweet! Time to go chase residents

this is the funniest part of the entire article!

Sweet! Southern shore has been hot this year! I still haven't made it out, lol

Finished up baseboard and trim.

Pens outplayed them badly last night, surprised it actually got to OT to be honest.

That's a cool knot! Going to give that a whirl next time.

I under stand sticking up for yourself, I just don't see this as one of those times.

So you're upset they did a thorough check of your boat? Do you know how many times these guys are probably lied to by people? lol I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't take your word for it.

That sounds like a double surgeons knot.

It was clear to you the boat hadn't been in the water, but they didn't know that. They didn't break any laws, they did a vehicle check. I still don't know where your civil rights come into this either, lol.

Brian, I try to keep it simple but also tie for the fish I'm going after. A double surgeons for leader > tippet is fine for small resident fish where you using really light tippet (I find anyhow). I always use a clinch or improved clinch at the fly. If I'm going after big residents and tossing big streamers, I'll use a double UNI for leader > tippet and an improved clinch at the streamer.

Well yeah, if I didn't know to pull in I wouldn't pull in. But it's not like I'd go all Vanishing Point on them either, lol! If they wanna pull me over down the road, by all means.

What other criteria do you think they should use for spot checks?

A road block on a 400 series highway? lol. So many rebels in this thread. Pull over, and help them do their jobs. If you've got nothing to hide, what's the worst that can happen? They take 20-30mins of your time? Oh the horror!!!

Pike can be so frustrating.

I've caught pretty much everything on that silly spoon. Giant brookies, walleye, lakers, pike,, and bass. Always one of my go to lures.

Very interested to see which Sens team shows up tonight. Do or die!

LOL @ Matt!

Did the Pens show up to the last game or did they send their AAA farm team? lol

Dive in and hug them.

Hero drifts put fish on the bank, lol!

Bah, you should see some of the cat fish people post Go back to that lake and find the crappie! There's gotta be more then one
