I know exactly what you mean. I try to fish some of the other lakes that produce winning fish. I've had pretty good luck over at Massabesic. The pull some dandies out of it's waters and it's slightly less crowded then Merideth.

Once again congrats on a beautiful dog. I'll have to try this approach when looking for a farm to hunt deer. "hey farmer shut up if you don't mind, I got a shot developing here."
