Snapper since you are a Pondmeister you don't go fishing at the pond anymore. You now go to the pond to work. Work includes sampling surveys of several types one of which is creel surveys that are accomplished by hook and line. Of course there are many types of pond work as you mentioned but creel surveys and balancing by harvest sure do take up a lot of my time . The use of these terms seems to keep the questions from the non-pondmeisters (aka non fishermen) at a minimum but their eyes sure roll back in there heads when I start to explain what I am doing at the pond. \:o \:D
