Have to tend to agree with ya RICHARDTNEWELL
As little as 2 years ago, I personally pulled a 5 plus pounder outta Braidwood & put it back just so's we could have the thrill of catching it again....maybe.
THUNDERSMOM & I have debated often weather to post our "success stories" about Braidwood here. Her opinion, "don't say anything because it will bring more people there & mess it up for the rest of us".
My opinion is "So What. We Always do well there & if others don't, oh werll".
I truely believe the fish are there & growing stronger. If that brings more there, so be it.
The "secret's out".
It's all about the fishing.
Unfortunatly, it brings out the worst of people as well, but if a handfull of people will benifit & respect the lake as well & I figure it's worth i to let people know where they can go & not just try to catch fish, but actually "CATCH" fish. Weather ya eat them or not, isn't relevant
I think back to when I was a kid. My dad took me fishing many times & we got a few at best. Lets face it, if ya go fishing as a kid & waste a day being bored to death, do you ever go again?
Just our opinion here, as everyone has, but..............
