Thanks for the kind words guys.
Yes, it was a pleasure to meet you as well, AndyS. Thanks for the motivational picture too. Indeed there are some Einsteins swimming around. That's what makes it so special when you catch a big one.
Eddie, I feel the pictures I take hardly do the fish justice when it comes to the colors and patterns. It's like two different fish sometimes real life vs pics.
Thmyorke1 I've been skunked many times too in that area only to be blessed on the next trip. Love it! I've too noticed that channel that runs through the middle, but haven't fished it hard.
MikeyTopaz that's funny you mentioned the rebel crawdad. That's how I got turned on to that spot when I was younger. My Dad and his friend would fish those all the time and did very well. I hardly throw them anymore, especially in the rapids there. Jigging junkie anymore... 2 weeks ago I caught a few on the crawdad, but in the deeper section downstream swimming them parallel to the shore.
