      I do really well there but the paid to park does kill me. Rather go there then snag at kent/piney narrow. Anywhere else is too far so the gas and mileage probably will be the same as paying the parking. It's a whole rectangular area for me. If my #2 and #3 doesn't pan out I go to the narrows.

    Saltwater fishing is great and all but just wait how precious good spots can be when you get into fresh water fishing. Instead of blues and rockfish I’m targeting largemouth/pike/snakehead all while throwing the exact same types of lures. Finding a new spot usually includes google earth and trekking through woods.
