Me and buddy stopped by during lunch break for less than an hour. About 20 people in the immediate vicinity but we found a decent spot. I was using green Power Bait and my friend was using pink. I didn't get anything but my friend got an 8" Rainbow after about 5 minutes. It was about 65F out; not sure of water temp. Atmosphere was ok but there were a guy near us constantly yelling across the lake to a friend which was annoying. Oh well. My friend went back the next day and caught one during lunch and then two more after work. I'll be spending more time at Heart Lake during lunch. Good for a quick fix during the workday.

I also experienced the yelling when I was there opening day weekend and it bothered me as well. I posted a detailed report about my experience which also included bait fishermen in boats casting within feet of my boat as I trolled in the area. I ended up leaving early. Clueless people!

Dave-
Read your post and I agree with your assessment. Most people are considerate but there are always a few jerks out there who can spoil it for the rest of us. Whether it's noise pollution, garbage pollution, rudeness or bad manners. And I've learned that these people usually cannot be reasoned with. They are rotten apples and always will be. Even if you ask nicely and try to address their offensive behavior, the situation can escalate out of control so I now take the easy way out: ignore them or move on. It's not worth my time or effort to deal with dirtbags.

I have been fishing that lake a lot since opening day. Yes there are a lot of inconsiderate people, especially ones that crowd the boat launch. I have a little green tub I call a boat, but she is seaworthy and has done very well. Fishing has been great despite the inconsiderate folks out there. What irks me the most is letting kids play ball around parked vehicles, adults causing a ruckus, and total lack of respect for the sport of fishing, and boaters using bait in the middle of trolling lanes. Lets have some courtesy, use a boat for a boat not a dock.
