well,you guys are right....I get enjoyment from the anticipation of it all....knowing full well that none of the stats. matter.....the more I look forward to a possibility of a trip..the more I enjoy when I go.....looking at the sites for weather, the river, the solunar table, just gives me sumpin to do till I can go......cause one can not plan to go when all the info. says to go.....one can go when the time is available.......catching fish is nothing more simple than putting the bait in front of a hungry or aggressive fish......no charts...no sonar...no weather.....
