Don P, I typically only post on CTF this time of year, and in this thread, LOL!

CarlyNL, don't let another year pass, come on out and catch some shad!

I just got back from a couple hours behind Bart's. It was good to catch up with some old friends at the boat launch: Radio, Milton, and a couple of others whom I recognized but couldn't remember their names. Most fished at the launch, while Radio and I plied the Farm'y above the RR bridge.

The water was clear, moving a hair better than yesterday, only occasional flotsam passing, and the water was down almost a foot from yesterday. Radio and I got the skunk, and I haven't heard of anybody catching anything, yet. It's just a matter of time before somebody lands one, although I expect tomorrow's rain will keep things quiet for a little longer.

Tackle: one-piece UglyStick U/L rod, Penn 4200 SS reel spooled with 10# Power Pro. Terminal tackle: 5/8 oz drail, ~4-1/2' leader of 8# Flouro over silver willows (green/white with black dot, and orange with black dot).

If I can get out before the rain comes, I'll try Bart's again tomorrow. Tight lines!
