12/30 report
WOW, what a day! Did not hit the launch in altmar till just after 8. With knowbody fishing just below the bridge we let the plugs go didnt go 20 strokes on the oars and right front rod folds, drop anchor I grab the right rear rod and clear it go to grab the left front rod and it cracks to, double header 5 minutes into the day. The fish I got is much bigger so net his I hand him my rod release his fish and watch a great 5 minute battle with a 12 pounder to the boat. Drift pass the 6 boats above the schoolhouse a few more in the wire and clear sailing the rest of the way. Hit another above muscrat then dead water till the tail of the mud hole. Took two out of the fridge and broke the last two off, my bad I never retied after a few of the fish, one rod cracked so hard at the tail of the can it broke the line on the hit! Went 6 for 8 only saw one other person fight a fish, boat and foot traffic was heavy with the majority in and above the schoolhouse. Water is staying up with rain coming should stay up thru the weekend.

ORIGINAL: 3fan Drift pass the 6 boats above the schoolhouse a few more in the wire and clear sailing the rest of the way. First off - nice report - glad to hear you found feesshh. I a;ways wondered how paying clinets f;t when thier guides parked the boats in crowded positiyions as you described,, almost as bad as collecting an unemployjmemt check at the unemploymeyt hole just below the Rte 52 bridge.. neerthheless, I hate the crwods and have drinikn Jack & 7's for 9.5 hrsx today. My faorite bartender in the whole wor;ls got a General Grant Tip - and i fins myself at home - with no DUI - pummelled like a nitwit tyoinfg werds on Al Gore'sinterweb. Happy F'n New Year to all you d00ds.. 2011 sorta sucked,, lets hope for better in 2012.. later d00ds.

Sorry bout drunken debachery in your thread 3fan. Ugly - you are right - drunks should stay off the interwebs. Planned on just having "one or two" yesterday but that plan went down the tubes quickly. Put a full shift in with da local water hole gang. Won't be doing that again for quite awhile. Surprisingly, I don't feel that bad now, cept for feeling severely dehydrated like a dead mudshark laying on a sun-drenched riverbank. It's amazing how you can feel your red blood cells expand back to normal size after a pint or two of water. 34deg and foggy here in Pennsyltucky - amazing weather for 12-31. Too bad my local tailwater river is blown out again. Good Luck on your boat trip with DB. I "predict" that DB catches the first Steelie of 2012. Happy New Year to Everyone later

ORIGINAL: 3fan Dime if you need to leave her the truck tomorrow, I can pick you up at camp and she can meet us at the launch when were done. If not then same plan. Hey 3, I thought of that myself; but after thinking it over for a little while I decided to sacrifice my planned afternoon of fishing today ... instead I bit the bullet and rented her a Mazda wagon down in Syracuse... I think it was a wise choice..lol... my mouth was watering all day long to wet a line though... drove through town a few times and saw no one down below on the bend... that was a painful sight to see being that I couldn't fish. Saw 2 hooked off the Altmar bridge this morning with my daughter...one was landed and it was a nice brown. My daughter got a kick out of that... Hopefully tomorrow will make up for my past 2 days of misery...lol...same plan...
