Fishing has slowed way down on the river this past week
I went to the river Saturday morning with Barry and John. We fished for 4 1/2 hours and all we caught were 2 nice saugers and a sheephead.
Last Weekend DeeDee’s sister Debbie and our niece Jenny from Kentucky were up here. They had a graduation [...]

John and I went ahead with the trip as [...]

We took his boat this time as mine was in the shop

DeeDee and I were able to get out fishing for a few hours Saturday afternoon to try for some pike. Well, mostly I tried for pike while DeeDee read and enjoyed the beautiful day.
I would say I had a great day. DeeDee thinks catching less than a fish per hour isn’t really that great of [...]

Barry had tried the previous 2 weekends with no luck at all. We were hoping [...]
