A belated update from a couple of early morning Scenic City Quick Trips this week. Wednesday I slugged it out with my friend Grant and his brother-in-law Eddie. It wasn&#39;t a hot &amp; heavy bite... but steady. Grant was keeping fish for a friend and we managed to fill up his Igloo, and actually had to start throwing fish back. Can&#39;t complain about that.<br /><br />Thursday I headed out with Tony Scales and his son Andrew. Andrew starts back to school next week and they really wanted to &quot;get slimed&quot; before he had to hit the books again. The bite was significantly slower on Thursday. Really not sure why because water &amp; weather conditions were identical. Maybe I should have checked DrumKing&#39;s Alamanac. Regardless, we perserved and certainly didn&#39;t get skunked. Lots of luck cats got thrown back into the river Thursday, including a couple of VERY respectable channel cats that gave Andrew a knock down, drag out fight. Which means life is good and gettin&#39; better every day.<br />
