Yea, heres the article. I don't know why or how the county can make the decision on this and the public access is owned by state (DNR) not the county?

The Outdoor News ad said that there aren't enough Muskie fishermen to warrent the increased stocking and the South Long people say there are way to many people. Funny..

Just remember lakeshore owners own the lake and the biology that goes into it, not us or the state, get it straight ! You know how they word it, were going to "my" lake this weekend etc. They pay property tax so by goodness I dictate what is happening on "my" lake. 3 of my 4 best walleye lakes are muskie lakes or vica versa, would these walleye lakes be 10x better than they already are if there were no muskies, I doubt it. I think a lot of people think a muskie never dies, it just keeps tickin like the energizer bunny.

Maybe The anti fishing groups can help with a decision. I would sure hope they dont seek facts in the case, let ill gotten emotion and lies drive your resolution.

I would bet $50.00 bucks to 2 donuts the DNR never gets a call.

If people are worried about more people coming to their lakes, shouldn't we get the support of lake shore owners of existing lakes behind us? I mean, if more people are going to the new lakes, surely the owners on the other lakes would be happy to see some of us move.

[Musky Buck]

Remember misery loves company. Then there's a good point to eventually stock them all with skunge'. I think the property/lakeshore people don't want the value of there place to go up by stocking muskies in "their" lake.

Well I'd like to see less development on lakes, so I guess we should start a movement to cease all lakeshore sales.
