Sorry the post is late, short work week with a lot of jobs to finish. went out at 5:00am fished till 12:30. Had a awesome trip landed 18 LMB. 10 of the were not much to talk about. The 8 quaility ones were between 16" & 18" I had all the sizes (Like PECO but unfortunatly I think age is catching up with me. 6 of the fish were caught on a 3/8oz white spinnerbait 12 were caught on wacky and Texas rigged 5" senkos of course black and I was using for the first a Bama Bugs color which is a funky blue. Someday I will fish with someone who will be able to take a shoy of me holding a fish instead of my left hand. During the trip there was a old bywing plane flying about, which was very cool the pilot was performing a bunch of tricks like barrel rolls, and flying straight up, to some engine stalls. Good Times had by all.

Nice job there Tim. I gotta try the Bantam "Stream" sometimes, maybe hook up with Peco one day.

Hey, Tim, I'll follow you around and take photos when you fish! 
Did you catch any strangely colored largemouth bass? The one I got the other day was really weird.
And no northern pike? Where the heck are they?!?!

Jim that sounds good. Phil no Pike. I was thinking that I started fishing in my Kayak around mid August. So I have nothing to base fishing the river (stream/brook) previous to that.

Hey, Tim, did you get any chain pickerel? My father-in-law caught more pickerel than largemouth bass there. I'm not sure why, but I know that he used some Texas-rigged Senkos and I think that he usually fishes too fast.

| Fish anything too fast and you are bound to catch pickerel. |
