Sounds like ya'll are a bunch of yankees, living north of I-20 and all. I grew up in the Natchez area and have fished the Mississippi River lakes, all my life. I haven't done much fishing lately. I've been off shore for nearly three weeks and will have about one week off when I get in, then two more weeks. I'm still going to try when I get in. The water is very high on all the lakes around home and no one is having any luck. Hope it gets better soon. Pooch
