I would say,,,,enjoy it while you can. I grew up in strip pit country and had it all to myself for years and years, then AMAX started the land and strip pit giveaway for the tax write offs...sure its nice for the everyday fisherman up to a point until they have been hammered and hammered till the fishing sucks. Back in 72, me and a buddy came out of Nam,,fished a diff. strip pit every day, sometimes 2 a day and never missed a day, no matter what the weather, as we both quit work to fish, trap & hunt for couple of years,, in Clay, Park, Greene, Sullivan, Owen & Vigo counties..and never did fish them all. We caught a lot of 5-8lb bass and thought it was a never ending well of fish,,large crappies, gills, you name it...and little by little over the years,,got shut out of them and run out by changes in land ownership and such. Also,,Trespassing was only a 25.00 fine then. As they always say,,the times they are a changing! Enjoy them while you can.
