Here's another one. Why do people feel like they can "borrow" spot from my bait pen? I go out during the day and catch 35 spot and come down the next morning to find only 12 left (no they don't get out on their own).
I brought home the pen and powerwashed it and changed the pool noodles. I checked it closely and found no holes. I don't think and animals (muskrats) are diving in and helping themselves. It's too deep for birds to poach. I occassionally find a hard crab has crawled over the side and caused havok, but on most occassions, the spot stay in the pen just fine.
It's only about 20% of the time that I find my pen has been raided. I even started trolling for spanish and blues just to frustrate the lazy fishermen from taking bait (if there are none in the pen; they can't take any).
