| I have no problem with the 1 line per angler trolling--I don't think it is going to have a negative effect of any fishery....BUT--with so many smaller lakes up north--maybe a lake size acreage could have been imposed to lessen the likelihood of problems on small lakes. While I will not troll on the smaller lakes---I will definitely use it for the large bodies of water. |

Location: north central wisconsin | I'm wondering if one of those bumper boats that might be just perfect for a mast, and skis on the 60 acre puddles. Just set up in the middle and spin circles.

It's overcast for sure, but I don't think it's predicted to fall until later this afternoon. |

Support groups for trollers ?
12 step programs to stop trolling ?
Big pharma developing a drug for CD (casting dysfunction) ? It's probably difficult to throw a pounder if you can't get your stick up. |

Location: Nowheresville, MN | Tragedy of the commons.
From a merely selfish perspective mind you. While it likely will not cause a tragedy in terms of depleting a fishery, I can't help but wonder how it would affect me (if i still lived there). Lots of angles and analogies to describe what I'm talking about. A fish you catch/keep is one I cannot. Jig and minnows and slip corks catch plenty of fish, and certainly are the best tools in certain times of the year. But I'm here to tell you boys Lindy Rigs, Slow Death, spinners, etc. are going to put more walleyes in anglers creels without question. Motivated anglers will find out big muskies aren't the only big fish that spend time in the basin on those little Cisco puddles...
A fish you sore mouth towing a depth raider while eating a sammich at noon today is not one I can catch casting the basin tomorrow. (This ought to be good to keep this going).. I for one believe ONE of the reasons Muskie fishing in MN was extraordinary is because suckers were rarely used. A neutral fish you catch on a sucker today is not one I can catch on a hard bait in two days when she turns on. I'm selfish. When I fish, I want to catch as many as I can. Maybe I'm just a jaded jerk. I just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling to know you caught a bunch of fish. Some folks on here used to share patterns and even (shore) spots on this very board. They were warned. They called us selfish. "We're supposed to share our sport" they said. "It's all about helping other anglers" they said. Shucks. They got burned. Their shore spots were burned and shared with the rest of the University. Play time was over...
Just another viewpoint I haven't seen expressed yet.
Let her rip... |

Location: MN | ^^ just curious why you are any more deserving of that fish casting vs someone else trolling. Isn't the fish you catch burned for the next guy as well? |

Location: oswego, il | Provided those fisherman are good enough to catch them. The same can be said for any fish caught before you were able to present a bait to it. Your worry seems to be more about more people fishing your lakes.
The Jaded Fisherman is already in production. Kind of funny, his own worst enemy. |

| Another question that has not been asked... What is the best reel for trolling Trolling girls? |

Location: Sawyer County, WI | Perhaps the better question is:
"What is the best kicker for trolling Trolling Girls ?" |

Location: minocqua, wi. | all the kickers are made by the same company ... then you pay for branding. |

Location: oswego, il | Branding, I like it. I am going to catch brand and release my muskies from now on. I won't even have to get my soon to be lard ass out of the seat. Brand and shake loose. No knocking my drink out of the cup holders, stepping on my bag of fritos, my blood pressure will be high enough as it is, circulation to my legs at a minimum, why risk getting up to net a fish?

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | I have zero issues with the new regs and will probably buy a new trolling motor myself. I've been a lake home owner in Land O Lakes for 13 years now, and in that time I've been checked 1 time by WDNR wardens. 1x. They can't keep up with checking fishing permits/boat registrations, how in the world can we expect them to patrol for trollers in 1500 some odd lakes up there? |
