You know that's what will happen too!!! 
Also, in order to protect this clean and peaceful species we absolutely must adhere to a 100% lead ban. Anything with lead cannot be used. That means no spinnerbaits, swimbait jig heads, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, basically anything that flashes or makes noise. But this shouldn't be a problem either since pickerel do not like these types of lures anyways.
The hardest part would be trying to figure out where to do this. There aren't a lot of bodies of water in MA that hold good numbers of pickerel.

is that a little sarcastic? because i catch more pickerel on spinnerbaits than any other lure. they crush buzz baits and swimjigs and im 100% sure they love anything that flashes. and the law says you can still use spinnerbaits and buzzbaits that contain lead, its only smaller tackle that can be induced by the bird
and there are plenty of places that hold good numbers of pickerel, charles river in dedham, dover, medfield those areas. cochitchuate has some HUGE ones, ive caught 2 4 pounders measuring over 27 inches on SPINNERBAITS there

Im sure he meant it sarcastically, I say we all do our part to eliminate them entirely, they are way out of control, and they eat baby bass. thats a problem

good to see you too neil. sorry we couldn't stick around at the end. i'll hopefully make a bunch of toppers this year with my rig.
hahaha yeah 100% sarcasm. pretty much every place in MA has tons them it's so damn annoying. especially spots like norton with all that coontail and hydrilla infested everywhere. and you're definitely right about them loving things that flash. they love anything that's flashing or making a racket in the water.
i caught one yesterday that literally followed my crankbait to the boat. i saw it at the last second and pulled it out of the water, and it jumped out to hit the crank and hooked itself.
i had to throw the lead ban reference in there since it would be fitting for pickerel, not just loons.
i wouldn't mind eliminating the slime darts!
