OK - I don't want this to get out of hand, or guys to take sides and start any kind of board war On the Morse report I played along with TDH/HT "fire with fire". This time I thought I'd try and make them feel "guilty" I consider them both friends, just messin' with them back - though I have to admit, it does feel a little like I'm getting singled out. There are other recent posts/reports mentioning Salamonie, Mississinewa, EC, and Patoka in the headers and nobody else got "teased".

No, I don't mention Heritage by name in reports, but that's because the last thing I want is for some Crappie.com guy to drive over there and launch, only to find his truck and vehicle towed when he gets back to the ramp, and him getting a ticket for trespassing on top of it, not to mention wasting his time and gas money. Much easier to just leave the lake name out than to try and put a disclaimer on every post I make with a report from there, or try and explain some misunderstanding to the guy affected.

If I go to a public lake, I don't mind mentioning it, though I try not to go overboard on any one single lake. We've had that discussion before on here... You pay gas money to drive over there, another $12 to launch, plus another $20 in bait/tackle/boat gas, etc., feel free to take a crack at finding and catching some fish. Slabmasters doesn't keep the names of their public tourney lakes secret, nor how well they did at every lake. Nice big write-up. Lots of pictures. The more participants the better. How is a single fishing report any different?

Anyway - don't think anyone meant to start anything. The only thing more boring to me than no reports on this board is a picture of a bunch of dead fish in a report with no details. Just trying to share some helpful info and the current bite with guys...
