I hear you.Hikers and campers spend so much to preserve wilderness and access to the woods with the fees they spend on a lisence to travace the lands they enjoy.
It’s a f***ing scam in every state.
Register your yak, canoe, backpack, tent or other item to use the lands that have been funded by hunters and Fisher people for years.
f***ing pukes disgust me.
Notable aside - they are $13 ea, but grass edges in shallow water - WHOPPER PLOPPER!!!! I've NEVER had a topwater bait catch fish. I bagged 2 and a third got unbuttoned on Sat AM. A fun 3 minutes at the end of a fishing morning.
We have more ma**h***s than we need flocking across the border every weekend.......
They have 4 sizes now!!! The 90 and 110 are the standards, but they have a larger 130 and just came out with a slightly smaller bluegill profile whopper 75!View attachment 240098
Every angler needs a Whopper Plopper, they come in two sizes and several different color schemes, I got this monster in Westminster with the larger size, chad-colored WP

My brother turned me on to the whopper plopper a few weeks ago. They are unbelievable, especially just before dusk.Here's my take:
I've got a good fishing hole. I dislike it when I see others glomming off of my hard work. I'm not "mad", per se, but these are areas that hadn't been fished for a long time. I start fishing them and guys are all over them.
I fish a restricted pond. So even with the "extra pressure" it isn't really pressured.
I can only imagine what my local fishing hole or my favorite tree for a deer stand would look like if I promoted more hunters and fishers in the area.
I'm all for more tourism. And maybe there is plenty of game to go around. I dunno. But it's what I think about.
(Best is that I see people fishing "my" area all the time, but they haul water. One guy HAS to have electronics based on the bells and whistles on his boat. It's not that hard to figure out where the fish should be.)
