Well I think it is easier for a kickboat to clear an inspection. That said I think that you make a lot of very valid points (I like the part about manmade reservoirs in particular). I think my stepmom used to call this "shoveling #### against the tide" or something like that.

As an aside: I apologize but I almost never go to the other forums on calfishing but this is going to change. I guess I just never thought about going up a level to see what else was there. Also there seems to be less and less value to the Western Bass forum. I do like some of the articles they publish, especially the ones from Couch.
