Got on the river before daylight. Looked like running 4 turbines. I do like some current. I have been taking Chris below the dam for a couple years now. He is a fast learner. <br /><br />We were catching small to midsize LM pretty regularly and Chris also got a nice flathead, bluegill, couple of gar and a google eye.<br /><br /> I functioned as his handy netman. When the sun got up we moved up to the wall to get in the shade. So did a few bass. &quot;fish on&quot; Chris is hooked up on a good fish. Wasn&#39;t coming up so I figured blue cat or drum. Nope, It finally came up some and we could see a good bass.. I grabbed the small net I keep up front and scooped her up. Fish was bigger than the net, but got lucky. 10# on the boga grip and a PB for Chris. He added that to an 8.5 and a 9.5 that I &quot;guided &quot; him to last year.<br /><br />I am not taking him there anymore. This was just the second trip recently as I had heart surgery in early may, and hadn&#39;t fished since April. We left about 11 when it got too hot to fish. Fun morning.<br /><br />Thanks to Nauticman (Pete) for showing me the ropes on the river several years ago. Love to fish below the dams.<br /><br />Regards, Norman
