Next thing I know 4 or 5 boats descended on the area. 3 rentals and 2 privates. Now, I know I don't own the lake and it was a bit rude to crowd me out like that, but what I saw next has me writing this. As soon as they dropped anchor they (yes they) started chumming. All of these boats were occupied by the same "group". Sorry but if you don't want to be stereotyped then quit this nonsense. Chumming is ILLEGAL! Tell your friends to stop it too. Honest fishermen, following the rule of law, can damage the fishery enough. We don't need chummers and folks stuffing over-limits of fish under seats and floorboards making it worse. Let's all enjoy what can be a healthy fishery together. Thanks.
