[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 89874, member: 367"] Disclaimer:: This isn't to stir the pot about blueplaters this is fact. We as North Dakotans in general are conservative with our resources and from what I can see we do a good job of policing ourselves. Speaking for Devils lake , [U][I][B]IF [/B][/I][/U] fishing pressure has much of a bearing at all the biggest problem we have is Blueplaters. Not only do some of them think the limit doesn't apply to them the general attitude I see is they could care less about what they don't keep. I was trolling a weedline and two other boats from east of the border pulled in, My next pass there were 4 or 5 small walleyes floating , Since they buggered up my troll I anchored over a hotspot and watched them. They were throwing the dinks straight down as hard as they could to stun them, On another day, Same thing but they weren't throwing them in hard but the fish were aggressive and hooking deep, Quite a few were small fish. Rather than doing like normal people and using a needle nose they were giving the line a good yank and throwing them back fish. They trolled within a few feet of us and tried prying honey hole information from us Someone from our boat commented about all the floaters and they said "Someone has to feed the northerns" [/QUOTE]
