Red face While Fishing Can Be Festive, Too Many Lines Trolled Is Excessive...

On the bottom poly-rope is easy to see...but a trolled lure isn't likely to leave it "just be".

The winter-mooring-ball issue has increased the lakeside homeowners' knowledge...but so have the number of firms that will winterize the lakefront cottage.

As a line to shore is such an easy fix...I've never used any winter mooring ball tricks.

In Spring—when the water is the clearest—the mooring balls are super easy to see...especially at the trolling speeds that you'd be.

With this high water, my concrete mooring collection (of three)...is working to keep my dock from becoming "debris".


How's the above proceeding at po-et-ry?


Deliberately sinking mooring balls or leaving rusty hooks to catch the unwary...seems to have promoted a problem for fisher-folks into something scary.

I merely navigate around any...a dangerous problem for many?
