Thanks for the repiles guys! Sounds like a freakin mess! Probably gonna give it a try Saturday morning anyhow. Saratoga 15 fish limit and the 2 hour drive to my beloved Champlain is not in the plans right now. Time to try a new spot. Some action and a couple dozen eaters would be nice. I don't mind working for fish. THE RED ALGAE thing doesn't sound delicious though.
