[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 356185, member: 217"] So as usual those lakes that I talked about earlier have either the same gill net information for the last decade or have been completely eliminated all together. To me that is a good and bad depending on the lakes depth of water, again with a fenster lake that has the same gill net surveys posted it had a over a decade ago one thing is for certain this lake has deep pockets of water well over 20 feet. Meaning that this lake must be just full of stunted perch with a few perch getting up in the 10 inch range, mount Carmel dam is an example of a lake with deep waters but a population of stunted perch population. North golden lake in Steele County in the early 2000s was full of stunted perch, these lakes have one thing in common they are the best places to bring the kids to if you're want introduce them to the wonders and joy of ice fishing. Now if the game and fish were actually doing their job which clearly they are just happy stocking their prize lakes with types other then the green yellow toads. These fish can survive in water that are less then 4 feet and populate with great efficiency compared to other species that need to be reintroduced year after year. So the game and fish who by allowing these lakes to go unchecked for the benefits of the locals who prefer them to be able to slip under the radar or an injustice in not providing access to these lakes for the benefit of catching so many perch you could run out of bait before they would quit biting. I mean there are so many lakes that could use green yellow toads stocked in them in the north eastern part of the state where it's mostly others like walleye or pike that get selected for these reservoir lakes.
