I just finished reading the "weirdest thing you have caught" post and made me want to post this idea for all of you.

If you have an old salmon or deep sea fishing rod lying around stick 80 pound test on it with the biggest red devil spoon you can buy.

Troll this through all the weed beds in the fall and you will end up with all the tackle in the world.

Hope this helps.

I prefer the easier route.  Snorkel, mask, and fins in popular trout holes where people fish for stockies.

Don't forget to "Bait" the dive site with a couple of old steel shopping carts firmly anchored to the bottom! I actually witnessed this at a public hotspot on the Lower Niagara several years back. The guy, an acquaintance actually, also "primed" the area with a couple of old bicycles in addition to the shopping carts!

When I was a kid I knew some guys that used to drop a rope accross a popular shore fishing spot.  They would check it every few days and collect all kinds of tackle.  I also saw some guys once pulling in an old box spring to collect equipment off of it.  This was in Lake Erie on the back wall outside the Small Boat Harbor.

If I caught someone doing that, I might just find myself in jail 

Oh, the stuff an angry mind can come up with

People who participate in this kind of dishonesty and downrite stupidity need to have their a$$ kicked plain and simple !

Call me a tattletail but if I see this I will be the first to make the call to the D.E.C
This is not only dangerouse but costly to those of us who loose our gear and damage boats !
