    Were you out yesterday (thurs)? That was choppy sheet. Me and my little boat stuck to marina and the laggoons....

    didn't do as well as you though! Get any pics?

    I don't always snag fish, but when I do...
    I choose Little Cleos

    I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

    My boy kicked me off last night to go on facebook or something,didnt get to download any. Here's a couple.
    Started the day with some lg mouths, all around 14-16", ended the day with several of these.









    Friend who didn't get to go yesterday just called and wants to hit the river for a bit. Geez, I'm beat but.... the boat is still hooked up !

    Actually quit takin pics after 5 or 6 yesterday. One of the top 2 or 3 smallie trips I'vr ever had. They were callin for rain and wind with 30mph wind today, should of stayed over until we got blown off. Productive baits were a toss up between X-raps, 5' twisters and tubes. Again, what a fishery !

    DT, sold old leaky. (did throw in the mallet, an extra solanoid and a life jacket !!) Had some one give me this boat for $1. Mmmmm... never did pay him though ! My fishin bud, Rage, never misses a trip. Only 2 shore stops all day for her !! Days like yesterday, like so many others, makes me want to move !!

    I like steelhead, but smallies are a nice fight too. Those are some great fish, good stuff man.

    That was the 1st one of the morning and I'd be lying if I said the thought didn't cross my mind ! I think over the last few years a lot of you guys have influenced me on the fishery and C&R, The boy thought I was nuts but I think he learned something important that day that took me YEARS to learn !

    Gizmo, you can still put that on the wall. Contact fathead.com and they will make a poster any size you want of that picture. I got a 3ft by 2ft on the wall, of my 16" crappie i got at shenango last fall. Cost around $50. A lot less than taxidermist charges.

    Thanks for the link chaunce. That is a good idea. I may do that to one of the son in law pics for his upcoming b-day. Do you think the clarity is decent ? (then if he ever "screws up" I could throw darts at it !)
