Thread: No matter how much you know (or think you know). . .

You can always learn more. I've been fishing Truman since 1983 and can generally get on 'em pretty good. Since I retired, I try to get down there for a day or two every week or two. It seem like the days that I get down there this year, there's always a cold front coming through, with winds from the north, east, or both. I'd planned on going down last evening and fishing this morning, and (you guessed it) I was looking at a forcast of 15 mph winds from the east, and snow. I still wanted to get back down there, so I gave Richard Bowling a call. I figured I could tune up my spider rigging and would pick his brain on what those fish do in terrible conditions. It was miserable weather and was COLD. The fishing with Richard however, was HOT. We ended up with 29 bigguns, trolling way shallower than I would have ever tried. I also got some questions answered about the masses of inactive fish that I often see on my side and down scan, about how those fish move under bad conditions. Richard, if you're out there reading this, thanks for a great day of fishing. I really learned alot today that would have taken me a long time to learn by trial and error. It was well worth it.

outstanding drfish, shore sounds like your getting your education in riggin, never to old to learn.
