I found my first ones April 27th and have picked them everyday since. They are all over. The only places I've hunted so far are public ground. 11 LBS. yesterday and 13 lbs today. All from the same place. I hit 50+ lbs. for the year,today. There is always several people out there, but I don't see them once I get to where I go. This place is between Norfolk and BC. I have 3 private spots I haven't even been to yet. Permission, of course. So....I would highly advise it. Michael Anson....you can see some of my photo's on facebook. Last year was even better....found over 200 lbs.
