Brian Latimer Rule 3. Fish public US waters only, The tournaments I am in this weekend are on Mercury's Lake X, Not a public lake. LOL, And the lake is only 3.2 miles from my house. Hope boat numbers are assigned by shortest distance.

That was all him, I had fished with him the year before.

Same lake in 1977 Rick Clunn won the Bassmaster Classic with 27.7, Coach would have smoked the field.

Kevin Skovenski We have had them here in Florida for a long time, As a teen we would go to the lakefront at night, sit under a streetlight on the seawall and fish all night and never have to get up for more bait, or lay out a white sheet and fill coffee cans with them, a hundred a night, and sell them to the commercial catfishers and I would always keep 10 cans in the freezer for bait all year.. This season the hatch is greater than I have seen in a long time. Even the Bass are blowing them up, Just another food source that is added to the equation.

Luis Liogier-Weyback Most I have spoken to are very receptive, It is not like it was in the 70s when everyone was fishing, Now most fish wherever they can, as it is not an important thing like it is to some of us. Just be respectful, emphasis on how you will keep the area clean of your garbage, and even that you will pick up any other trash you see.

This lake is different because it is a lake used for Mercury testing of their race motors, You have to be invited for special events, which this is, We have to sign a Liability waiver, non disclosure agreement, adhere to a super strict photo policy. 
I have gained access to private lakes by finding out who the owner or caretaker is and contact them.
