OK, this place is nuts. I got off work last night while working on the Log Boom and decided to try for dinner. I cast in with sherbet power bait and had my first fish within 30 seconds. I bait up again and cast, this time it did not even hit the bottom.

Both fish were between 16 and 18 inches. I kept one, tasted great; gave one to a co-worker, may have to fight to keep fish from him next time.

This left me fish less for the return trip home today. So, around noon, I hit the water again. OK, so this time it took almost 5 minutes per fish. These two fish are in the freezer for Sundays meal, if I can keep my wife away from them long enough. (LOL)

In the last three days I have showed people how to rig up, and every single color of power bait, power eggs, and even mellows with worm, has worked just as fast. The fishing was just as good for people at Brant's Landing.

In short, there are more 16" fish here then in a hatchery. Still, there are rumors going around with the locals. They have heard that the net pens are almost bankrupt, and that they cannot afford the feed anymore. If the pens close down, then the triploid heaven we have enjoyed ad Rufus Woods will end.
