It is. Smallmouth (like most sunfish) require water that is slow moving. They will swim up these feeder creeks to spawn and then will return to the main water source (Fox River). The fry can and usually stays in the smaller body of water until they can handle the currents and the food sources. Did y...

I've played drums for going on 13 years now. Haven't picked up the sticks since last summer. I might need to clean the garage out to set up the set again.

Hey John. I noticed in another post that Ed and Ken were able to steer you in a decent direction regarding the drift boat. I have no problem exploring the stretches further south that Ken mentioned.

Thanks Rob! I have a feeling I'll hate it too. I know the rocks around this barrel of fish are brutal. The line gets caught under more than anything.

You know my status, just send me a text and let me know which one your getting out for.

I know my day to fish this weekend will be Sunday again after the sweet day of hops.
Not sure where I'll fish yet.
