no matter what time of year, the lake is ours until 9 o'clock in the morning. after that i either post up in the back of a cove and bank fish from my dock until the folks hit the bars at around 7 at night. without the recreational boaters and drunken fools that lake would not exist. i have had a house on it for about 17 years and i have seen many, many changes. oddly enough, the fish still fight hard and taste good, plus now we have walleye!
