Well,

Took me a while to make a public thank you to Fish Jesus, and Craven Morehead for taking me fishing the other day. Wild and crazy me told the whole world to go to hell Friday, and I played hookey. Well, thanks guys for taking a jig newbie under your wings and showing me the ropes.

We fished the Upper 'Nooch on Frday, all day. We went 4 for 7. Got one relatively bright fish, and the rest were, ummmmm, mature fish.

This one was so bright, I had to wear shades.



Here's the "Anybody see my float?" fish. A nice 11.2 pound hatchery hen. We were floating down a nice pool, and I of course, was looking at something else, and then realized that I could no longer see my float. Guess what? It turned out to be a fish. Imagine that.



With some excellent intruction by Craven and Fish Jesus, two jig gurus, I was able to hook 5 fish, four on jigs, one on my own eggs, and land three.
What a great day!

Thanks again guys for an excellent day. I had a blast! It was well worth the price of an upset wife.

Nice chromers Andy. I like how you you call them mature fish. That is pretty cool. I hope your new job is going to be ok. Take care.
Chris

Nice job, Andy. I'm jealous again. Actually, I had the family at Ocean Shores for 4 days. The boys and I were headed to the upper as well, but blew a radiator hose and overheated instead.

Would have been good to see a real jig expert at work. Could be scary bumping into the guys you were with (based on monikers).

Check your E-mail. I sent some F-4 stuff.

Andy,
Had a great time hooking up with you and getting you dialed in. It is definitely fun watching that float slide around those log piles and suddenly disappear...oh wait, you weren't watching... . Thanks for the lead so I can pour up more jigs. I am looking forward to hooking up with you again.
