I’ve seen them. I think they put whatever they catch on the stringer. Me, Harps, and Chief ran into a whole gang of them a couple of years ago. It wasn’t their first time out there.
I’m not talking everywhere on the lake. I know those rules. But there is plenty of room to drop your kayak on the other side of the courtesy dock without being in the way of the ramp. Done it that every single time I have taken my kayak out there.
My step granddad used to make me hold the light and he would shoot them with a 22. We always had to go and wade around in these farm ponds full of snakes.
Sage makes a good rod. I don’t own one but have fished them a bunch and they get it done. I’m not a good enough caster to appreciate the extra expense. I’ll stick with my various options in Echo, Redington, and Scott.
Hey Dudes rule!!
Actually when I was a kid my Dad had written permission to access a farm pond through an old lady’s property. That was 1970 something. I was with him the day she gave it to him. He said it was silly but kept it in the glove compartment. I thought it was cool.
Even though he had that he always stopped by her house to ask if it was okay to fish on that day. Out of all the ponds he had access to that is the only one he asked permission every single time. It’s also the only landowner that got fish fillets dropped off to on a regular basis.
I wish I knew where that letter is.
There is some amazing fishing content on YouTube. But I get what y’all are saying. Trust me though, most of those guys will flame out in short order. It’s a lot of work if you do it right and want to make some money off of it.
