CJ....You are right on the beam on this one. I grew up fishing SD lakes and yes SD lakes definately are different.....like everywhere else. It's the BIG picture here, without different lakes or patterns in So. Cal. we wouldn't have the talent in the west like we have.George was a Kook to write something like this about ANY area. The only reason I get WON (week old news) is cause I fish the tourneys. Duh.... C'mon George...out with the old and in with the new
