Hello to all my adoring fans... The past two weeks I have been tryign to relax, and most of you know how that goes... I did manage to stomp down a gobbles last thurday. The Bird was 16 pounds, and had a 5 inch beard. I got to make it out fishing twice in the past 4 days... Saturday Mike Hutchings and I we to a small coulie that i heard about from good friend Jig-em. WE sat just below the dam there and pounded rough fish. We caught close to 50 goldeye, drum, sheephead, suckers, and carp. Thanks to the 20 Goldeye, I now have catfishing bait for the next month or so. Since I had this goldeye on hand Rich Thorpe and I hit the river monday night. Conditions were less then we exspected, Wind was out of the North at about 20-25 miles per hour. A mist kept trying to rain on us, but we managed. Weended up boating 7 cats total, 5 of which were over 16 pounds. Rich T caught the most and biggest cat that tipped the scales at 21 pounds and 35.5 inches long. It was a great evenign to get out on the river. Tomorrow I am taking Alaska and Crystal out in the boat. I am trying to spend as much time wiht crystal as possible be for she deploys down range here in the next week.

Have a good day and keep those lines wet.
