Ha, and I don't think most of that stuff ever even got wet until about a month ago either

I do wish more trollers would participate in the habitat days though, I think people take the attitude that if they aren't going to fish that type of cover with a single pole, why would they give up a day to work on it....or worse still, they figure they can just go out and find other peoples stuff with their side imaging and GPS....

I guess you can do that, but trying to improve your lake is just the right thing to do, period. You may not jerk a fish out of a shallow brushpile when you're trolling, but you might catch fish that were spawned off of a brushpile someone else built, or better yet, some guy's kid might catch a few fish off of a brushpile you built, just a thought.

The biologists are going to set the regs, whether we like them or not. The habitat days are just one way we can all individually make an impact towards making the resource a little better for everyone. And it's a great way for the fishermen to get together and work towards a common goal, whatever fishing method you choose, we all really want the same thing.
