I went away to Germany to help my daughter settle into her new home in Hamburg, so I have been OOS (out-of-service) for a while. But I&#39;m getting back in the swing of things and have once again donned my &quot;guide cap.&quot;<br /><br />I have been concentrating on numbers, not size. Lots of action seems to suit most people versus the sometimes long wait for a &quot;big bite.&quot; At least I know it suits me a lot better anyway. emoBig
<br /><br />We&#39;ve had good water flow, mainly in the afternoon, which means I haven&#39;t been hitting the water at the crack of dawn. It&#39;s really nice being able to &quot;sleep in,&quot; hit the water about 10 am and hammer a bunch of solid eater cats. Although yesterday Taylor (young lady pictured below in the red visor) had ahold of a beastly catfish! Sadly, she hooked it in the middle of a major sunken tree. The battle lasted about a minute or two before he wrapped and snapped 50 lb. braid. It hurt Taylor&#39;s feelings, and mine. emoBang <br /><br />But all in all I&#39;ve had some fun trips and happy people. That means life is good and gettin&#39; better every day!<br />
