    Home made squids behind dodgers for the Kokes. Trout like them as well.

    Ultrex woes again...'bye Bird and hello Garmin...

    Yes, got your humor, but not a lot that day, post front weather patterns. I never ever saw a fish swim to and hit my presentation on a fish finder screen before. The cutthroat that I saw on screen was within the 15-22 inch slot limit, at 18 colorful inches and over well over three pounds he...
