    Man o' man!! I sure miss Old River lake. Went to church with a fella that had land on the lake then ended up with a client that lived on it so I had two possible accesses. A man could limit out in no time. Red/chart tube jigs were the weapon of choice. Some time tipped with minnow and some time the minnows were not your friend. Loved eating a good meal at Cotham's on the old highway. Are they still open? Best days I remember were windy ones. We'd motor into the wind, drop four poles each, and let the wind carry us. Easy peasy way to a limit of nice fish.

    Yea when it is on it is on!!! Went today and kept 23 (with a buddy).. Kept 9 good ones and the rest were just good eaters.. I have been keeping smaller fish this fall to just try and do my part in managing the dinks.. Cothams is still up and kicking!!!
