So are you agreeing it's a good thing or a bad thing? From what I'm seeing the tournaments, publications, web sites have done a great job in getting areas recognized that would otherwise overlooked by the masses and bringing much needed income to those areas, that makes a great economic impact in our supressed economy.If the DNR and locals would do their part in supporting the effort, it is a win win situation for everyone. Over crowding of lakes can be a good thing to some or viewed as a bad thing to others, but once again if everyone did their job, there should not be any problems.
