Unlike RG, I
save the lures I find stuck in my boats and shoreline tree branches -- and put them to good purpose.
Last year, I snipped off the barbs from the three most
dissimilar of them, and suspended them with springy wires from the dock over "my" bass' hangout. While I never saw them "taken", I thought it was a good training exercise for the lake's more naïve bass.
Nobody's made an appointment for me, however.
I train chipmunks.
