Well my man ill do my best with this one as i can... if this is the "opening day kids tourney" in spring lake in the town of spring lake its a madhouse there but still a good time for kids but they are absolutely not the only ones involved in it. I grew up fishing on spring lake ,among other local impoundments, and it has grown every year since- to an almost carnival like atmosphere... soon we're gonna have to find a bigger lake for this one. It is a good time I will only go there if the stream is shot, but I have friends from both sides- stream/lake ,some stick to the lake for the chance of the whopper- we go for the fun of it, and it has lost a lot of the magic there because of so many people with so many rods out "3 maximum" and most people do it to increase odds ... but all this really does is decrease chance for everybody! and like i said... i grew up locally and actually opening day trout when i was 5 or 6 was my first time fishing at Spring Lake. now its like a comic book proportion of fishing excitement... all in all the only thing i would change is maybe limit the amount or rods per angler from 3,down to 1, giving everyone a fair chance and let the kids fish first for a while; cuz its a free for all at the 8:00 shotgun start. After the first day whatever but remember i am only one man with one opinion
