thanks Ray

I picked up one on jigs last saturday on the south side. Hit right at the bank, thought I was snagged up till the toothy, slimey, glass eyed geek of a fish thing :D took off in a dif. direction. Tired drowning minners but there was no takers, casted from about 7 till dark and planned up sittin with the minners for awhile but forgot the chair so I went home and surfed the "eye" net. Fish was a undersized lookin 17"er. Dint think it was even that long till I put a tape on it.

Yeah there were some good catches this week if you where in the right place at the right time ... kinda typical of the fall bite.

speakin' for myself, I did well early in the week & of course today was a Hurry-Cane Bill day!!!

Hang a By-Product!;)

Today and tonight is def. my kind of hurry-cane fishing the east bank of grand weather. However, I went and tried a hurry and get bait but to no avail. Been fightin a fever the hacks and the aches for about 4 days. Didn't have the energy to throw the damn net very long. I sure wish I could have gotten bait quickly cuz I'd sure be out trying. Maybe tomorrow?

More power to ya Hurry-cane Bill cuz around 6am this morn' I'd sling a pair of quarter oz jigs out & they'd hit the water at my feet -heheh ... and it got worst by early afternoon till it settled down this eve. Yesterday(overcast/BOD) & last nite was a hum-dinger for eater size on jigs till the front moved in...
