I hate to see two 5-stars have even a hint of getting personal when I agree with BOTH your ratings.

I can understand both ML's and Greg's position, I think. I sure don't have enough experience to know either is wrong. I do have enough experience to know they both can be right even if they disagree. Greg know his clients' lakes better than anyone. Ditto ML for his water. But there are 3 states in between you guys as well as what are certain to be definitional differences that can be confusing things. Just one possible example: what may be "heavy fishing pressure" as reported to Greg by a third party could be lighter or heavier than "heavy fishing pressure" as ML defines it on his ponds. The exact answers lie in the Bass; I don't know if GA LMB and TX LMB agree on this issue, but I am sure they do not talk to each other.

We can give each other a lot of good ideas here, but it is up to each of us to implement any of them as we see fit AND to decide what is success, failure, or "needs improvement." I'm damn happy catching BG that would be seen by some as bait for Blue Catfish but that does not mean that either viewpoint is wrong. Just different viewpoints from different eyes.
