Catch em or not , I love being out there!. I agree John that bowl looked great. In fact from where we gained access all the way west is great fishing. Your more familiar with that area coming in the other way and heading east I'm sure.
Go to the terra server and take a look at the airial photos of the area. Many primo points and bowl in that relatively short stretch.
Good to fish with you again. With the event you and your wife have planned around Thanksgiving , you'll be a busy guy next season. But then again , with the new house , the fish will be in your back yard!!
