Stop by the Kountry Korner and pick up some gold/black DB3’s from one of the Shultz family. When you get to the ramp access gate shack talk to Thomas and he will give you some areas for big fish. Stay out all night and be ready every time the train crosses the bridge. Good luck.

You might want to bring a machete so that you can punch on thru the thick stuff at the bridge embankment! but it’s worth the effort!
