I know(or at least it seems) the majority of the folks here are big fish sports fishers.. While I never balk at getting a surprise big fish (big to me is probably relatively smaller than what most here hunt for) I’d like to find a place for some semi consistent channels for stocking up the freezer..
I like fishing on the St. Croix and all, it’s fun for sure and very little traffic where I go, but the consistency and size of the fish don’t make for consistent sandwiches.
If anyone had some good hints to a good area for 3-10 lb edibles that wouldn’t be parting with their well guarded areas, I’d be more than happy to clear the little ones out for you folks ; )
I’ve hopped around the inner city lakes, and had some luck, but eating fish out of the heart of the cities makes me slightly paranoid of what ends up in them.
