You're right Jay! You should of seen the stare-downs I was getting as I just stopped fishing and began watching, it's almost that they anticipated for me to make a move, after a few minutes I just shook my head and continued fishing and they went back to business as usual.

The problem is if a uniformed officer makes his/her way down to the river or even pulls into the parking lot the red flags will go off in a second. What aggravates me besides that they're breaking the law is that I'm tossing $20 lures and these folks are using the real-deal.
There's so many herring along that shoreline that every couple of minutes you'll witness a surface splash, that where the sabiki rigs get tossed. I'll admit while I was tossing a willow blade for shad I hooked up a few herring, at this point I decided it was futile for a shad, tossing them back also raised a few eyebrows and put a smile on my face. There's herring scales all along that shoreline.

Chris, that river is extremely low to a point you can see a few sandbars from shore, makes for good topwater action though, I just tossed a plug every-time I witnessed a surface brake and after what seemed a hundred casts I nailed two bass.

Time for the boat!!
