Seems to me that you've given other people **** in the past for using
the "secret" ploy.

Actually I think I had a hand in starting it as a joke i.e. The Secret
Spot (t). Its no big secret actually. The Secret Spot is below the
Grandfather Falls dam on the Wisconsin River 10 miles north of
Merrill. Fish around the boulders for bass, the bottom of the bigger
pools for walleyes (Although you'll be lucky to catch a keeper
walleye as most get hauled out when they approach legal size and with
one warden to cover the entire county your chances of getting caught
with an illegal fish are small.) For what its worth I've been doing
better fishing the much more accessible water below the Alexander Dam
just outside of town. Like Grandfather Falls it is hit heavily by 'eye
fishermen with the bass being seen as an inedible bycatch. Which is
fine by me.
