It' has been a very long time since I was able to put some respectable numbers in my cooler..I sure miss the flavor of that tasty flaky white meat!! got lucky today and caught a few at a buddies pond.. they hit red worms and one crushed a hot pink Jig.. I heard reports of slabs being caught weighing in close to 2Lbs @ Beaver Dam in Durham/Wake.. I will check it out sometime this weekend and report back..Bells fishing pier (Jordan Lake) was super slow, the regulars say they are off right now. but could turn on pretty good anytime...
