You are exactly correct! Poaching does occur. I've seen many boats past the buoy line on more than one occassion. If a big one is caught, immediately it's said to have been taken in a "non-conventional" way. I was standing in the Mini-Mart back in the day and supposedly someone saw me catch a 15 on a live Sardine that I scooped from the beach. I did catch a 15 the day before.... at Casitas (not on a Sardine). Big fish cause rumors (lies) to fly. Just ask Mike Long. I'm glad that nobody knows who I am anymore and I get left alone.

As far as the "click" goes, once again, you are exactly correct. They feel that the Lagoon is "their" water and everything is done to keep you off of the spots. As I mentioned, there are only a few "spots" on the lake. In a conventional bass rig with one trolling motor, it may take 8 minutes to go from point "A" to point "B". As you are half way to point "B" Butch in his super machine zips over to cut you off of the spot. It's games like that that pushed me away from the Lagoon. I think Mike has a boat with multiple trolling motors (if I'm not mistaken). I'd love to get out there and give Butch a good run for his money on spot fishing. Anyhow, the Lagoon is what it is and the non-click guys are just going to have to deal with that type of situation if you want to fish the Lagoon.
