Nice report Jim and a good early start. I have only been out one time and never had a bump (it was the weather and the chocolate-colored water) 
When I do get out again, I plan to watch for Richard and Vi so I can follow them to the big ones. They have been doing great no matter the cold weather and ugly water. Good to see them carrying the South to the top of the contest board. I'm hoping for a quick warm-up that will bring the water temp into the mid-sixties; that should get the carp, the wb, and the cats motivated to love and grub. Next week for sure.
