    Default Knocked em on the Grand today.


    Within sight of the U HWY bridge, fishing the bluffs, rod in each hand, silver glitter/char Mid South jigs on 1/8th jig heads.

    Limit in under two hours. Most caught in less than a 100' span of bluff, stacked like cord wood on someone's brush.

    Started the day heading to the dam, got there and the SW wind forcast turned into a NW wind. Not wanting to fight that I returned to Bucksaw. Launched in the afternoon... home with fatties by 6pm.

    Caught 20 fish today. Lost two at the surface... NICE ONES. Kept a limit for a friend helping me with my basement finishing.

    Had a guy in Peculiar do a tune up on the new boat. Prior to this I bested at 42 mph alone. Today, topped 50, idle fine. He replaced the impeller, lower unit lube, adjusted the upper carb, tuned the prop... $175. A STEAL!!

    To say they were stuffed with eggs and shad was an understatement. Girls were all I caught today, full as ticks.

    GPS'ing over 50 MPH with a 90 horse would put you in a select group, now that's a tuneup.

    Good idea, I would like to have it checked with a GPS. May have to borrow the truck's unit for a ride until I can get me a better in dash unit.

    Now that made it worth the trip catching those nice slabs. Our cove is iced over this morning, good thing you got out when you did. Looks like that new boat is going to do you just fine.
