Great seeing everyone, John, Mike, Barbara, thank you.

Chris, awesome pulled pork!!

Nib, Casey, Kasey, Bill, Steve, Vic and everyone else, great to see you.

Had some amazing fishing in the west end of the canal this am from daylight till about 8am. Total over 30 fish from 26 - 34" and some big blues(up to 32.5"). Loads of bait including all sizes of squid. Killer plug for quite a while was a pearl rapala Xrap Walk 13. At one point I had fish on 14 out of 16 casts(got weed on the other 2) Particularly during the slack and the slow current, no wind, this plug just slowly twitched on the surface is deadly. Guys around me were getting occassional fish on bigger poppers but this plug was killer. It casts decent also, at 1-1/4 oz.

Glad to hear you got a good one John. Wish I could be there tomorrow am, should be a repeat performance.
