Oh wow....at least the day was nice. We are going Saturday, first trip since before duck season. Hope to catch a few.

no fish on this stump today......got a dozen there last Sunday......fished 9 ft deep here.....

these fish......wonder what they do when/ where they go when the water's rising....JR says to fish the cuts not affected by the rising water....but I'm not sure what dictates that...also I learned something new today....watching the weather this am and when the wind blows south off the gulf it makes the river levels rise......so....another variable to contemplate when I'm awake at night........thanks for the post PS.......water will be better tomorrow.....fish were biting good yesterday.....you know how dat goes.......you da man too........
