fullmoon: another frank mulick story--our bass club was fishing out of camp pt, first week of december, probably in the late 70's. myself & 3 club members, along with frank mulick & the dock manager, danny rex halterman, were in the boat dock trying to get warm as it was a very cold day. one of our club members picked up a white fiberglass rod that was laying on a table away from everyone. in defense of my buddy, it did appear to be an old style, heavy weight sheakspear rod that had seen better days and he did not know of franks bass catching reputation. my buddy held the rod up, laughed and said 'who the h--l would fish with this piece of crap.' frank walked across the room, grabbed the rod out of my buddys hands, and mumbled some rather empathic words about how many lunkers that rod had brought to his boat. no one laughed as it was clear frank was upset. it took several club meetings before my buddy lived that down. sometimes i amaze myself on how i can remember , in such detail , little thinks like this that happen so long ago, but i can't remember what happen yesterday. this will be my last post for about 10 days as we're heading for gulf shores, al tomorrow morning. sunshine & warmth await me, i hope.

Back in about 1969 or 1970 we saw many of the jellyfish and for some reason, they were thick at the downstream end of Logslide Bluff, near the mouth of Little Cow Creek. They seamed to be floating with the current towards the dam. You guys are right. They are about the size of a dime. Whiteish / almost clear. If you caught one in a clear glass they would slowly sink towards the bottom and then somehow propell themselves up in the glass. I haven't seen one in along time.

SKMO- i hope to move up the marine food chain myself. Sorry SKMO but they were not bryozoans if u ever see them you will know.

Fullmoon - I stand corrected. I knew there were freshwater jellyfish but had never seen any in TR. The bryozoans pop up sporadically and everyone calls them jellyfish so made the (incorrect) assumption that was what you might have seen.
