Thanks, Tim.

Yup, a lot of time on the water and a lot to digest.

One thing I struggle with is how long to wait for a bite? I have been tending towards 30 minutes, but this trip tried to be more patient. A handful of times I drifted for a couple of hours in one direction/drift and now realize that didn't work out on a single occasion. I think the 30 minute rule seems to be a good one for me.

The one regret from the trip is that I didn't use a bobber and a shallow bait when I fished the creeks as Geno had mentioned, so I now plan to try that back on Lavon.
