I appreciate the mercy from COE (or whomever it was) at Sarge Creek ramp today. I usually launch and recover solo, but today I had help, which historically means I'm gonna miss something. Well, today that something was paying my launch fee. I remembered about the time we were headed back to the ramp. I assumed I'd have a ticket waiting for me, but instead found a partially completed self-pay slip, which I gladly completed and deposited on my way out.

Now if I could just figure out how to catch some dang fish out of Kaw! I'm having horrible luck figuring out the blue cats over there, it's just down right embarrassing! I'm using fresh cut shad, I'm drifting various depths in the Arkansas River arm all around Coon Creek, but the last two trips I've caught one little old 2lb fish. I'll take any advice anyone's willing to share, because I'm pretty frustrated right now, and the 80 mile drive each way gives me plenty of time to stew on it.
