No matter were you are it is probably best policy to ask the land owner for permission. It would be a sign of respect.

I am sorry that you felt that you had to appologise! I too thought the red hook/ line thread was interesting. That brings me to another point anyways. It is fun to have a little sarcasm and poke a little fun on this forum. However maybe sometimes we need to think. This youngman is 14 years old and wants to learn about bass fishing. Have fun but be careful.

This was posted today on another forum: I recently attended a meeting with some of the powers to be about how to protect Clear Lake from the Quagga. Director of water resources, Dept of Fish n game biologist, Director of Chamber of Commerce, sheriff's dept, and three people from an advisory board were all in attendance. I showed up to simply know what was being discussed and to voice an opinion as a Fisherman, A guide who makes his living on the lake, and a Tournament angler. This was an open meeting, anyone could have attended, I took the time to be there to at least voice my concerns. I stayed for two hours then left, the results of this meeting were then presented to the board of supervisors who in turn agreed to a plan of action that you saw in a previous thread. Following is an e mail from the CEO of the chamber that I just received: Bob, Please contact all the tournament organizers and inform them that the County of Lake is creating protocol for tournaments concerning protecting Clear Lake from invasive species infestation. We will be sending all of them letters by Monday Or Tuesday. We are dedicated to keeping Clear Lake open for all recreation. There are no plans to shut down Clear Lake. We will need 100% cooperation from them to help us enforce that all boats will arrive clean and dry antyime they fish the lake, pre-fishing included. We are instituting a sticker program for any water vessel which desires to launch in Clear Lake, including the over 6000 registered Lake County vessels, no exceptions. There is an outreach program being developed immediately hopefully with the assistance of the tournaments, bass, carp, catfish, etc. In addition all of our resorts/accommodations will be included in our outreach so that anyone calling for a reservation will be informed about the necessity to have clean and dry boats, PWC's etc. when they arrive and that the inspections/sticker program is in place to protect the lake. There is much being developed to protect the lake and more information will be coming soon. The supervisors approved the purchase today of 4 decontamination stations which should be in place in about 5 weeks. There is for some of us, a fairly confident feeling that the inspection process will reveal that 99% + vessels will not require decontamination. SO THERE IT IS: Like it or not I will say that at least some action is being taken by a County with little or no money. We all stand to lose a lot here, let's don't try to re invent the wheel or discuss who has ""Their Head Up their ***"". I did this post so that all of you can help communicate the need to be a concerned person, get the message out to the tournament org's, arrive here with a ""Clean""boat and do your part and Not Just complain about what it is going to cost you. The financial impact of the Quagga infecting Clear Lake will be ""HUGE"", Not to mention the possibility of destroying a World Class Fishery. So don't whine, try to help, I can only imagine how you would whine if ""They Closed The Lake. By the way, they have been testing for the Quagga since last year, yes it may already be here, ""BUT"" IF ITS NOT, let's keep it that way. I am done, have to go guide again, it's a full moon and the big ones are on the move. Get the Word Out, Bob Myskey
