[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]Yes, the water temp was pretty stable around 56-57 degrees all day. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]That guy that Dan refered to had caught about 30 smallies that morning. Every time we passed buy him, he and his partner were pulling one in if not doubles! He was using a drift sock just working the north bank of the narrows. They were drop-shotting plastic YUM crawdads that were blueish-purple on top and camo on bottom. I have heard of drop-shotting but never take the time to study it let alone try it. (As many of you know, I'm only a couple years new to fishing). So I looked up this Web site about it: [/size][/font][url "http://ww2.basspro.com/guides/dropshot/index.cfm"][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]http://ww2.basspro.com/guides/dropshot/index.cfm[/size][/font][/url][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2] The only difference between what he was doing and what this article shows, is that he was using split shot for the weight so that if it ever wedged in rocks, the slip shot would slide off and he wouldn't loose his rig. Next time I go up there and and am getting skunked on muskie, I will deffinately try drop-shotting for SMB. It looked way fun.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]The way I see it, next weekend ought to be good for the muskie bite so I'll be out there LOTS trying to bring in the elusive tiger.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]Oh, I got my $25 cradle net from Jan's Net ... Thanks guys for the tip. Just wish I could catch a big fish to put in it![/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]I really enjoyed AFDan's company and if any of you get the chance to fish with him, take him up on it ... can't go wrong.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]We may not have caught the tiger we wanted Friday but I did catch this pic of the maples turning color on the hills: Fishin' aint just fishin' is it?[/size][/font]
