I guess I left you hanging again. My wife and the coucelor tell me I don't communicate so well. She dosn't know much about fishing and racing anyway; so, I bet it is difficult for her.:D

I tried trolling and all I caught was little crappie and bass. Finnaly, I bought some minnows and spider rigged/hovered over some boo piles in about 30' of water. I caught 2 pretty nice Kentuckies fishing about 14'. I spent one morning with Darryl and we got ran off of one spot by the bream. I went back to that spot with my crew and some crickets the next morning. I didn't use corks, I used 1/2 egg sinkers over swivels and 4lbs leaders. I use this technique on Quachita too. It races the cricket through the little ones before they can steal it. We were still fishing around 14'. I brought home about a gallon of fillets. Over half of it was the bream.

BTW
I wasn't quite leagle with my life preservers when The man stopped me. I don't know how I get by with that one. All He checked my liscense, live well and ice chest and said I looked like a striper fisherman then let me go. I have about 20 preservers at home. I won't make that mistake again.
