Thanks for the report. Sounds like DH is treating you right, but suprised at the low number of smallies boated, compared to the greenfish? Water temperature there is about 4-6 degrees lower than Cumberland (West end) was on this past Friday.

Ive caught nearly all smallies my last few trips so i decided to go target largemouth to see if i could catch em good. I ran up Wolf a pretty good ways and actually caught largemouth in a few places i would have expected smallies

Sounds like the perfect fishing trip. Good day catching fish and a seeing some wildlife in their environment.

I always say there is something special about being on the water. A relaxing calm feeling for me and gets me out of the hectic day to day grind. you never know what you will see. It may be a cool sunset or sunrise or an eagle, deer, wild turkeys, familiy of racoons, etc.

We had a bob cat this summer for about 2 months it slept in the pen with the beagles unfortunately it chewed a live wire.
Back to fishing congrats, I nearly struck out both Sat an Sunday

But winter time I try a lot of different areas when the hot areas slow
I enjoy finding or trying to find new areas

Second post this week I have read on a cat sighting on Dale
