Thanks Guys!

Honest to God, I had some periods where I felt like I was struggling. I sort of expect a bite every cast. I expect to hook most of my bites and land most of the fish hooked. If I go 10 minutes without a fish, I start to press. The wheels never came off though. I kept tweaking location and the types of water I was fishing. The fish do move around and concentrate in different areas from day to day.

I could have fished better. 200 is very doable, but it's difficult to fish hard for 10 hours.

It was a numbers trip. I prefer to fish with others and I can't get these numbers UNLESS it's a solo deal. I'm not going to hog the fish when I'm with others. I want the folks with me to catch a lot of fish too. Maybe one less than me, but still.

I had an unexpected amount of company, but that will wind down. Other than my sucker fishing, everything was on a Zig Jig.

Ham,

Sounds like you did well, I gotta get better at hooking them on the zig jig and not hooking wood so much.

Throw it where the wood ain't. Lol.

I still get snagged on wood and occassionally rock. Trout will use wood as a current break and as cover. I do try to fish it, but I visually work the jig thru and around it. Sometimes, I get lucky.
