Ed, I think it would be good to only fish lakes where the spouse, girl friend or kid could just drag a senko and catch fish. Size is no big deal, but I want them all to catch a bunch of fish and have a fun time. I am not sure the River, Fish or Pike fits that bill, they can be tough for anyone that doesn't fish bass much, and then put 15 boats out there and not everyone is going to get a bass. My thoughts are to make it easy for fish, no worry about quality, just quantity.. Hey if we are on Fish, I'm dragging a spinner for pike and having my daughter land a few dozen snakes, not working that hard for fish.
I think Caribou, Chub, Big, Island South, Grand, etc. are all easy lakes for anyone and could be fun. Even if we have to fish them a couple times. I keep thinking of my daughter dragging a Texas rigged bait and whether or not she'll catch any fish on that water. I don't think she'll have much fun pitching to a dock. And I'll need a lot more fishing line too. Maybe a sticker on the boat that says "Ooooops, sorry about that."
