My fishing partner and I were in a little jackpot tournament out of the Shell Knob bridge on Friday night. We went up lake amost to Big M and after dark decided to run back to the mouth of Little Mill Creek. It was totaly dark and when we were about 1/2 mile from our spot, right in front of me I noticed a faint light. I immediately turned hard to the right and then we noticed a canoe with several people in it. They had no lights on the boat and I think the faint light was a cell phone. I missed them by not more than 20 feet. Be careful out there after dark. You never know what some people will do.
