Every thing looks great,  couple areas there are some dead spots but your area looks pretty good from the highway. The water is still a little high but that will be down by trapping time. I'm going to hit the rats bigtime this fall. gona try to catch 200 this year. i already caught 40 this ADC spring.

I/ve been looking around some and starting to lay out my lines for this year.  My State is a 24 hr check on all sets and I work a regular job so you have to plan your routes carefully, you want to minimize your backtracking to maximize your efficency, I know that is important everywhere but I am paying closer attention to it this year than in years past.  Right now I have three land lines planned out with some mixed water stuff along the way, and a dedicated water line with a little land stuff thrown in, I'll run this one from a boat.  I am going to scout another water line next week to see if it is worthwhile.  If I can make all 5 of these lines work that will about wrap up most of my season.
