[cool][#0000ff]You guys did a good job of cleaning up, and the weekenders after you didn't leave much behind. I've noticed that people seem less inclined to be the first to leave trash if the area is clean when they get there. Good job.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have used "bottle baits" over the years, and I am no snob or purist. I use what works best under the circumstances. However, since "Power Putty" is designed more for the chuck-and-chance-it crowd (bank tanglers), and since I usually do not still fish from my tube, I seldom carry it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you guys were using some orange PP last week, I think I found the spot you were adding/losing bait. A highly colorful spot along the bank. I'm sure it was not you guys who left the monofilament strung along the shoreline. I got my feet wrapped up in it when I came in from tubing. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I'm also sure it was not you guys who left the big rock right next to shore. TubeBabe tripped over it while backing out and "injured her dignity" when she went down on her backside. Of course I did not laugh (visibly) while I helped the funny lady get back to her feet while wearing fins and that funny set of panty hose (waders).[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]With that great view across the lake, it really is a nice spot to spend some time...fish or not.[/#0000ff]
