Catch 'em mack. I understand it is a public lake. I say if you find them fish them. Besides I can't eat them all anyway. The question I have is are you sure you are fishing my brush? Each one of them has a placard with "Property of Pac". The placard is kind of hard to show up but that depth finder you have should do it. I sure wouldn't want you fishing someone else's private brush pile & irking them so look for that placard.
