gotta put my 2 cents in on this.  I have been off the site because just too dam busy working at store and on cottage.  let me say first I have not caught one legal eye this year...so take everything I say w a grain of salt.  last month my wife and I were at cottage for 3 days.  the fish comm.  was doing there net survey in front of our place.  I watched them all 3 days.  I am not [link=mailto:bull@@@@@@@]bull@@@@@@@[/link] when I tell you that anyone on here would have sh@@ if they saw the amount of eyes, muskies, craps and perch they pulled out of those nets everyday.  20 yards off shore.  I was talking to them and watching them everyday.  I was stunned.  piles of giant eyes and muskies every 12 hours 20 yards off shore.  now here is the kicker.  I fished beside the net every night for 2 hours and never caught one.  I don't get it!  they are there,,,,just not biting.  I went back to minnies under a bobber and have been doing great on craps and perch in 4 ft or less by the weeds.  gonna up tom night to try again.  will post afterwards.  tight lines brothers!     ok now it is time for BTDT to say something hilarious!
 

Marco ,glad you observed all that. I was hoping for an eyewitness report on the netting.
I guess they are in there.... just have lockjaw ! ....lol
 
Must be disappointing seeing and not catching, just goes to show you those fish ain't all dumb !

Stupid fish!!!

trust me I felt like an idiot!!!!  there were so many monster eyes in that net I asked them to toss a few on shore for me!  one morning I watched them pull 6 legal muskie out in five minutes.  many wall hanger eyes and panfish galore!  they put scanner tags in a lot of the fish.  they told me the catches I watched were normal.  lmao..I was stunned to say the least.
 

PSSSST....... Marco, I got this leaf net that covers the top of my swimming pool. I'm not using it right now, wanna borrow it?

roflmao...don't think I didn't think of that.  the funny thing is we got there Friday at 1 and they were down there pulling the net.  I ran straight down and watched and talked to them for a long time.  ran home and told my wife I was goin to slam the eyes this weekend.  needless to say we ate out everynite!   one thing they said to me that stood out.  I asked if I could cast near the nets and they said fine just don't get tangled in them.  then he said quote "if your goin after the eyes don't even start fishing until dark"  the problem...I CANT SEE AT NITE!  I think I am gonna be eyeless again this year!

Marco ya just need to wade out at night shining a flashlight into the water. Now ya can't stick em with a gig or spear but when ya see the glow of thier eyes, I don't know of any law that says ya can't, whack em with a baseball bat.😋

lmao..as I sit here at work on this beautiful day, wishing I was I pymy, all that I can think of is, " how does BTDT,s wife put up w him!",,.,lol
