Yeah that would have been funny if it had stayed in.

Got there at daybreak, foggy as all get out, got a couple on the buzz bait, then a line of storms moved in. Sa tin the truck for a while until the rain moved out, went back to throwing the buzzer, caught 8 more on it and a couple of drop shot fish and then it was time to go home. Nothing big on the buzzer but they were a bit interested in it. Best bite was in the coves, could not find much in the main channel. Looks like we might be in for a wash out if the weather guessers are close to being accurate. Maybe that will get the fish going. Water temp 72-73.

They are out there, but they are sly sons of guns.

Wow, Cards did it - hopefully they can go on and eliminate the last of the California teams and make it to the Series. I understand Mattingly's reasoning for leaving Kershaw in the game, but it did surprise me a bit he did not pinch hit for him in the top of the 7th. When Adams did that bat flip, I thought he had really crushed it, but it did not make it over the fence by much.

Right on, must have been fun!

I guess it doesn't matter if you end up #4 or #1 at the end, there's no home field advantage, right?

Yesterday the Monarchs were on the move, crossing the White river channel near point 23. Not a continuous stream, but you could usually spot 2 or 3 heading south if you looked around. They were flying right into about a 10 MPH wind. I idled the boat beside one to see how fast they were going into that wind - about 2.5 MPH. Pretty amazing a creature that fragile can make the trip from here (and from parts further north) to Mexico.

Thanks - interesting stuff. Looks like we have a lot of LM's heading towards that keeper length.

Dang if I know.

We'll find out about Miss. St this weekend, Auburn is paying a visit.

How the heck do some guys from Iowa come down and beat the locals? Not that I'm knocking them, congrats to them for getting a 15 lb. bag.

Being primarily a Red Sox fan (I also can pull for Royals and Cards especially with the Sox out of the playoffs this year), I appreciated the effort and competitiveness he showed this year. I was down on the guy at first as the Sox as signed him to a big contract and he either did not pitch well or was hurt. But this year he put it together. He's not a dominant pitcher, but a good #3 that will work hard and give his team a chance to win.

Sounds very Neddish Bo.

How about that bulldog Lackey!

Ham I did not throw the Spy bait, did not have one with me, but I agree you think the whites would eat it. It's a LC Waketail 85. I haven't been too impressed with it so far, the whites ate it, but the black bass are so-so with it.

Launched at dawn, headed down the river channel, got to the point 23 area and there were fish busting shad all over the place, literally from one bank to the other. White bass as it turned out with a few spots mixed in. Threw a top water prop bait at them, and they were killing it. White bass were pretty decent sized, 1 - 3 lbs. That bite lasted about an hour or so, once the sun came over the hill it drove them down. Black bass fishing was tough, could not get any on the jig, threw cranks and spinner baits and only caught one on that stuff. Found some drop shot fish in a cove mouth in 20-35 FOW and caught maybe 15 of those, but not one keeper in the bunch. Put her on the trailer at 1 PM. Water temp was a bit cooler this week - 72-73.

Never would have thought they would sweep the Angels. Shields was a little shaky, but Cain bailed him out and the bats came alive again. They don't start the series against Baltimore until Friday night, it gives the Royals a chance to set up their starting rotation. I wonder if Shields will start Friday?

Excellent, thanks for the report!

7.89 is a biggun.

How was the fishing?

Good job Brett. Those hybrids looked fun, I'd rather catch those than trout.

Did it even though have never fished Bennett. However, I did have opinions on the invasive questions.
