I have never had one break, however my favorite in craw color caught alot of solid fish for me retired it this spring threw it out and all I got back was the willow leafs and the wire. cannot find that color anymore . lew's does not even have it, and they pretty much have the best selection around ,  glad to hear you all were catching them today .  I was at work waiting for a call from a buddy saying let's go, so I could leave early lol, with fishing fever....

Sounds like a great day. I see you were fishing around docks on Stockton and was wondering if you had any trouble there? A while back I was fishing in Orleans trail and was told that area was off limits? I wasn't on any dock and was probably 50ft from one and a gentleman walked down and gave me a riot act. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem there?

That's not very professional

dock owners encourage  patrons 

this sounds wrong   

 I trust you kept fishing the brushpiles 

[livingtofish]

No I left, I wasn't fishing the brush piles if I remember I was fishing a fluke, but I did ask a conservation officer later about that and he said they had no beef as long as you were not either on the dock itself or in some way bothering the boats that are in the slips. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem there and I have never went back in there since as I want to relax on the lake not argue with a marina person.

I didn't have a problem with anyone...i was fishing the bank leading into behind the docks and then fished a couple of the empty ones in the very back.  Granted the marina was closed and there were just a couple people down by the boats slips.  Great thing about winter/fall is that its pretty quiet there and anybody you run into is usually fishing.  I think I'm coming back down tomorrow for a few hours again....hopefully i can have another successful day!!!

I am glad you had no problems, I just remember that day and always wondered if anyone had that same problem. That day I wasn't around any dock when he approached me, I was near the back of the cove just east of the last dock. He talked like there wasn't any fishing allowed anywhere near a dock and I was like really? I have also talked to another officer about that day and he didn't understand it either and that tax payers helped pay for the project. Anyway I might slip back in there someday and try it again. Good luck.

There has been a COE rule for quite some time about how close you can fish to a marina dock.   Mutton Creek even has the boundary marked.

[livingtofish]

I would like someone to explain that rule to me since you say how close someone can fish to a marina dock. There are people fishing off of the dock all the time, whether it is from a boat moored to the dock or standing on the dock or from the bank. It seems rather discriminating that the general public cannot fish near a dock even though you are on public waters but someone that pays a fee to the marina owner that sits on top of public waters can fish. Seems like this rule has many loop holes.
