I fished Sunday for the first time in a couple weeks and decided to return to 8 mile creek. I looked at the bridge off CR 1352, but it didn't look any better so I returned to CR 1422. That cliff (small hill really) hasn't gotten any better. ...

I took off work today to do a little fishing and decided to drive down to Cullman and give Duck River a try (hoping to find somewhere out of the wind). I couldn't get an eight pound anchor to hold a 12 foot kayak, crazy bad wind. The good news ...
