I was somewhere between 10-12... I tried to trace back thru on my long drive home, but I really zoned out or in a few times out there. I pretty much stopped counting when I knew the "plastic" man was out of reach. You know Bob, you had 10 when I got there, so you only beat me like 30 to 10 this time. Uh, huh... your day is comin'.

What a fantastic day! Fishing in a t-shirt in December? I even had a bit of sunburn on my face.

I didn't move around as much as Got Stripers... I kept expecting the big school to pop up where I was, but it never happened. I just picked one up here and there. Got a couple a bit larger this time... maybe 4 or 5 pounds. No bad on light tackle.

I lost 3 darn shad at the boat while hoisting them in. Those were the ticket to some nicer fish as GS showed at the end of the day with a bass around 20lbs. I believe that was the only shad he had. I guess I shouldn't have been so non-chalant. I should've given them the bassmaster's classic treatment and whipped 'em across the top of the water and into the boat.

JohnS, I should've introduced myself... i was in the aluminum with the green hull and merc outboard. GS told me you were there, but I wasn't sure who he meant. Then I read the posts today and it all made sense.

I think I'm done for '01. That trip blows a whole day and I only have 2 more weekends till going back to PA for the holidays. I'll take a day like that to wrap up my 2001 fishing season.
