Hey Bryce, hope you'll join in on the cat contest again this year... We need some help up north...
I do like crawlers when I can find them throughout the year, but so do the yellowbellies, so I usually start to abandon them when the bullheads get too plentiful in my area... and I see the channels are full onto the carp chunks... but it seems like lately they must be on a soft diet because it was really slow on the carp so far this year.... I've got 3-4 on the carp, but I've been getting a lot more on the worms, just not much size so far..
There must of been a really good spawn the year that makes 20"ers, there seems to be a bunch of that size this year... Sure hope I can find something better than 27" this year, I've had two low scoring years in a row and I hate to have to go south to find a good cat... In fact it's been so long since I got a good fish, that I'm starting to lose my calibration that tells how big a fish is before it hits the bump board. I got the 25" the other night and I thought it was such a big fish as I was watching it come to the net.. Then I measured it and I think it shrunk 2" as it hit the bump board... Later Jeff

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
