I got into a discussion with a guy down on the lake last night. It seems to be evident and agreeable the amount of folks coming to fish the lake is down presumably due to the price of gas. On the other hand he indicated the lakes with electric only motor restrictions are getting more fishing pressure and therefore making these lakes harder to fish for the guys that usually frequent them. <br /><br />I haven't fished many ristriced lakes this year to comment intelligently but find it hard to convince myself this makes a huge difference since many still use electric trolling motors on lakes without restrictions. I'm thinking it may be more likely that those wanting to exercise an opportunity to fish electric only restricted lakes have a more compelling reason to give them a try.<br /><br />Therefore, I decided to throw the topic out to fellow i boaters to see if using your trolling motor more has influenced your decision to fish more lakes with motor restrictions......Please share your thoughts.
