    PLEASE DON'T SPEAR IT. Is all I kept hearing when we went through the discharge. That was fun, I am ready to do that again. YEAH RIGHT. That scared the crap out of me. Besides that, I had a great time & met a couple good people, namely, riverrat & mhall. Thanks John for taking us down there to catch the cats that we did, I had a blast. Josh told me to tell you he had a great time to & wants us to do it again sometime, without the discharge from the lock situation though. He said he could have done without that.

    Oh, yeah, John, "They just smell that way" LOL.

    Thanks again,

    Jason

    John,
    You bet I will! Looks like alot of fun. Seems Friday nights are when you guys are going. is that just the most convenient for you? I'll have to plan ahead a little since my daughter is with me on the weekends. Looks like I could plan something the weekend of the 8-22-08? Thanks.

    Friday nights are usually the best because theres alot of catfish tournaments going on saturday nights.Theres plenty of spots on the river to fish it just seem a few of the ones i like the most are taken and i dont care for squeezing in on someone.But theres always plenty of water to drift.When the stripers start running again it will be fun no matter what day you go.If you still have my number give me a call and well see if we can make plans that weekend.

    Nice to have met you guys to John. Chuck and I went to the upper and started great. First drift down I got a 16.3 lb Flathead. Second drift down Chuck got a 16 to 17 lb blue we didn't weigh that one but was a nice fish. Third drift down I hooked a dude but it came unbuttoned, dang it, mighta been my 60, it was large and Chuck thought it was another flat. Then we ran out of bait and Chuck threw his arms off trying to get us more. I thnik he was distracted by that Kayak bikini, lol. I caught about a million little white bass while he was throwing the net trying to get Skippies. I caught one Mooneye and he got one shad so we went back to fishing. Didn't take long to loose those bait due to the dang Gar. Thanks for getting us some more bait, it almost payed off when Chuck sit down on a moose, I think it even impressed him especailly when it started pulling us against the current from the rear of the boat. I thought of the Chief on Jaws and was gonna say, We're gonna need a bigger boat, right?? Then for whatever reason it just came off, he stuck that fish and good, no clue, but he's gone so it's just another fish story. We got a few nice hybrids also with all the whites. Fun day for sure and nice to meet all you fellas. We'll see ya down there again, who knows maybe this Friday, I think Chuck is getting tired of babysitting me though, lol.
