Claiborne on New Years Eve

Made a trip to Claiborne even though the wind was supposed to be from the N to ENE. It was a pretty cool day to be on the water, but I wasn't the only one. Everyone was catching some fish, but not huge amounts. Everyone I talked to seem to have caught around 15. Jim was there and he ended up with 22 which is the most of anyone I talked to that was fishing by themselves. I ended up with 16. Only 5 were nice fish. I kept the smaller ones for a neighbor who likes whole scalers. Sorry to say that all fish except 1 came on shiners. You all know that I rarely fish with anything except jigs, but seems like I only use shiners at Claiborne. Well enough. Here are a couple of pics. The biggest fish was 14 1/2 inches and 1lb 11 oz.

Nice going Rick! Thanks for the pictures! And you can always do like I do when I can't figure the site out, call docwaldo! lol

Nice catch and glad I got to talk with you again. Jim

Nice catching Rick. Just when I get used to using Photobucket they update it and I'm lost all over again. It's maddening.
