Hi ya Chub,,,that sounds good to me. I`ve sat on the river a number of times on Jan 1st. I`ll go at the drop of a hat. I need to get out and check things out anyway. So when ever we get lest a sunny day I`ll be willing to go. The cold don`t bother me too much....God love Gore-tex. Just give me a call.

Hey Doug it's Jay I was on the island on 8/31/06 when we were tearing up the Hybrids that day ,I was the guy who kept asking to pull up your anchor so I could land that Striper LOL
That was the last day if you recall , the river was clear its been muddy ever since .It will try to clear up and then we get a bubble from Up North .
I have been fishing alot moslty in the Duck Pond due to high levels ;but I haven't caught my first sauger yet ????
Even using minnows ,Charlie caught a few in Oct in the ditch by the upper spillway .This cold snap may turn the sauger on .The lower is 21ft and falling here is a link to the McAlpine lower http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrog...ew=1,1,1,1,1,1

Hey JFW I remember ya. I think when me and the blind guy pulled up all 3 of you had fish on. I know you all wore them out! I figure your arm is just now getting feeling back in it. Mam that was a hell of a day! I was useing a interlocking snap that day. Now I`ve got 40lb plus cats on them and never had 1 to strighten out, well I got a hold of one of those BIG stripers and in that current it sure strightened it right out! And lost my 8.00 Husky Jerk...LOL Well I figure that when the water drops alittle more and the sauger crawl out from under the rocks they`ll get to hitting. The rivers been high for acouple of monthes now hasn`t it. I`ll be hitting the discharges and see if the stripers are in there which I think they would be. They get ahold of me 1 day and lets go...
