Maybe they can use some of that money from increase in boat registrations to kill that crap. That would be a great use since they are soaking us with that tax.CF

CF, I don't know if they will or not. They haven't the past couple of years and last year it was awful. Even the larger parts of the river were covered with it to where they looked green from a distance. I know there was some up the perquimans in Belvidere but I don't know yet how bad it is where I fish this time of year. I haven't made it that far up there yet.

As for the eating, they are hard to beat: white, yellow, speckled. I love em all. The kids keep telling me they don't like fish, but there is never any left the next day. Go figure.

Hopefully I can get right in the next few weeks and head upriver and see what I can find. I know there have been several boats up that way on a regular basis but I haven't been able to catch em at the ramp to see what they are doing.
