Hey Thanks again guys. Amazing how many things had to fall in place for me to be there, place and time. Thanks again to GregW who drove all over creation to pick me up and bring me to my spot! The night was terrific even before the fish.

Here's an interesting side note. I used to KILL at this spot with a Choopy needle. Last year, not a single fish on the needle but got them on dahta's swimmers, etc... The needle was still the first plug out but never so much as a tap. This year, almost every fish from the spot has been on rigged eels. Several times after plugging for hours with little action, I would throw on a riggie and get fish right away. I am usually fishing into a stiff breeze which is why I usually plug first. I still rotate between plugs and riggies but the riggies have caught 7 of the last 8 fish. Makes me wonder if they were really right at my feet and not eating when I was just throwing wood at them.

Things that make you go Hmmmmm??????.......
