I'd bite the bullet and pay the fine and certainly not confront her in any way. You could find yourself having a couple of cops showing up in your presence and all that entails.

Other Bluegill lures you guys use for different situations
Don't target Blue Gills. Target Crappie on occasion. Bull Bream will hit plastics from Bobby Garland's Panfish kit. Like Rebel Critter baits and soft plastics also sold in kits. Mule Plastics especially the Donkey Tails. Amazon you can find soft plastics as I did Houderrong, never heard of them, yet to use them but they look good and paid less than 10 dollars for 50 of them. Hang ups? Going to get them with micro cranks. To save money check out Creme's hard micro lures and Wal Mart's Ozark Trails. Cheap and they perform just as good. The hook I use is the Gamakatsu #1 Worm, Straight Shank, Light Wire. Floats: Heddon Teeny Wee Torpedo and Tiny Spook both 1/8oz and float. Try to fish with a tight line, the bass can inhale it if not. And Rebel Critter baits and others float at the top. Can be twitched. Yellow Grasshopper is a lot of fun. Good Fishing

Last bass in Texas
Lived in Cypress TX and the public access to fishing, good fishing, spots were plentiful, too. Fished a lot of flood retention small lakes and ponds. The County public ponds supported by the Texas Parks and Wildlife were surprisingly good fishing. Pull off the interstate and fish under the overpass had more pleasant surprises. You could catch a 5lb. bass in the Houston downtown area too. All from the bank. Plentiful opportunities. Good Fishing https://www.paddleroundthepier.com/guide-to-bass-fishing-around-houston-tx/

Favorite or best wakebaits
The Heddon Moss Boss 1/4oz and 3/8oz is not considered a true wake bait. I get it. But casting it in wooded areas and close to the bank you're fishing, a steady slow retrieve does create a small wake if you want it to. Mostly small waters. Good Fishing

Last bass in Texas
Was thinking why leave the Conroe, TX. area? Very nice place to live. Now, I Get It. Good luck on your next move. I've lived in more than a few states and the state of Texas is the best place to fish for the Largemouth Bass boat or bank -- hands down. Good Fishing

Upsizing my worm hooks
The best‑selling bass fishing hooks in the USA cluster around a small group of manufacturers and a few specific hook styles that dominate bass angling: EWG worm hooks, offset round‑bend worm hooks, drop‑shot hooks, and treble hooks for crankbaits. Your shopping results confirm exactly that — Gamakatsu, Owner, Mustad, VMC, Eagle Claw/Trokar, and Bass Pro’s house brand show up repeatedly. Short answer: The top‑selling bass hooks in the U.S. are Gamakatsu EWG Worm Hooks, Owner Offset Worm Hooks, Mustad Triple Grip Trebles, and VMC Wide Gap Worm Hooks — these four categories consistently lead sales across Scheels, Tackle Warehouse, Bass Pro, Walmart, and Amazon.

Determining the crankbait bite.
Early in the morning, especially this time of year, if you can find one, Mann's Baby 1 Minus and Cabela's Grave Digger. Both, from the bank, in shallow water, produce -- especially in ponds. Good Fishing

New to bass fishing - 2 weeks, no bites at all
“The Beetle Spin, which catches all species of fish, is my survival lure. I always carry a number of these small-and-compact lures with me. Beetle Spins catch numbers of bass, particularly big bass. My favorite color Beetle Spin is white with a red dot that I fish on spinning tackle on either 6- or 8-pound-test line." Gary Klein
