Literally!

What a week! Hammered with work Monday and Tuesday so didn’t get over there till Wednesday and found an area with good fish and decent fish! Then Laura cane through W Monroe as a Cat 1 with 75mph winds and rain. Knocked the power out to half the town! I’ve been through enough to know we gassed everything up Wednesday eve. Didn’t go out Thursday but at the captains meeting several folks were without power. It was awesome how everybody worked together to get folks on gas and ice and find power so they could charge their boats! The storm was gone by Thursday eve and Friday morning we were greeted with cloudy skies and light winds. The rain brought the river up 2’ and moved our fish again. I think at 10am we had 2-3 fish. Decent ones but not enough. Saw a few good ones that we couldn’t get to bite so we ran a long ways to a backup spot and put 7 in the boat there but they weren’t the size they were prefishing either! Stopped in another area with 10 minutes to fish and culled out 2 fish there but still not what we were looking for. Started there day 2 and put 7 over a pound in the boat quick then ran back up the river to look for better fish. We saw more on day 2 and were able to catch a pound and a half better than day 1 but it was once again too little too late! I get one more crack at her the end of this month. I’m looking forward to another chance to settle the score! Hats off to Robert Carlile for throttling the field once again and to Les Milligan for an awesome 3rd place finish on a tough river!

Getting caught up a work this week but still have some weekend and weekday availability in Sept and a couple October days left. Palestine and Fork have been fishing pretty good with the cooler weather setting the fish up in a fall pattern! Fall is by far my favorite time to fish!!

Came home to my new seat bases!!! I think these will be nice and solve the problem of front deck seating if needed without having to give up the pedistal seat! The trout guys on the White River all use them! I already had the Millennium seats so that was a plus!

Did the chicken come with the seats?

Dave, He had 4 chickens before the pedestals arrived

Wow those seats look nice!

Chickens is the new currency! Haven't you heard? Catch me while I'm feeling generous and I'll trade you 6 for a 112Lb 60" Ultrex! I'll even throw in a free rooster! Holidays are right around the corner! What better gift for your MIL than a rooster in a box! They're pretty docile all wrapped up. Maybe that's because I forgot air holes? Either way! Think of all the fun you will have!!
