hoglaw Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Fished with the girlfriend yesterday. Was worried that the 15mph wind would make for a difficult day, as well as the forecast of possible storms. It never rained a drop, and the wind didn't work us over too bad. Water was a little higher than normal and I figured we wouldn't catch much. Boy was I wrong. What we didn't catch in numbers, we made up for in size. Here are two that we caught, one on a squarebilled crankbait that I let sit on the water for a second while I made a few paddle strokes. The second I reeled it after letting it sit, a biggun gobbled it. The second (bigger of the two) smoked my hula grub when I was fast cranking it to make another cast. The fish were really chasing baits a long way, but most were just followers. It's hard for me to fish so fast when the water is up, but I guess that's what they wanted. Boy am I ready for the warm water season.

hoglaw Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Went to law school at the U of A. Not a pig lawyer, though I seem to be encountering quite a few chickens in my practice as of late.

I thought maybe you were referencing a railroad term, for the hours of service law. Chief knows what I'm talking about. wader
