Don't worry Scott, I forgive you . . . this time :) So what did you drop your phone in the river again? Talked to Jeremiah tonight, he gave me the skinny. Wish I was fishing tomorrow. But stuff happens especially when you only have one car and the wife needs it to go to work :(

July 18th 2010 Notellum River I went 3/3 released a Downriver Buck. FISHINROB is a good friend so I showed him the Notellum. He did good. He went 2/3 and banged his big Buck with a spoon :cheers: . My son went 0/1 losing a pig because of his knot tying skills(Kinda like his old man :cyclopsan) I told him how well these Summers fight compared to the Winter Steel, so he knows next time he knows to tie a better knot #-o

Driving where? :-$ I hooked into a pig Springer free drifting a sandshrimp tail but lost it walking it downriver. I wanted my son to land it, but it blew up my 6lb leader- So again, those who think fish don't bite bait once they enter freshwater are misinformed. I should have gone double digits in fish this weekend. My honey's were out of town all weekend too. If I wouldn't have had issues with my baitcaster, I should have had a career day. 5 fish for 2 days isn't bad though.

Good work Jens. Nice looking fish.

Wow Jens, nice fish. I went to the Cow this weekend and got skunked. Just shakers and one freight train in the afternoon. The freight train must have been an old springer that decided he wanted to go back to the salt. Spooled me, then snapped the leader.
