[wacky worm]

we got started around 6:30 pm

started at craig o lee

caught fish on top water and plastic

it got dark quick

it was a spooky ride down to gracies after the fog creeped in

fish were jumpin all over the place

one jumped and hit jeanies boat, spooked her and the fish

Is there still good water up on the Big Sugar? There is a great hidden access upstream of Big Rock that makes a nice fish / float down to Sugar Island. It seems like I always have better luck upstream of Sugar Island. My biggest river smallmouth was caught between Crag 'O' Lea and Sugar Island. I'll post the pic later.

plenty of water for a yak

it seemed like the little sugar was rolling pretty good from the recent rain

We usually just use the 16' Mad River - it handles better than a regular canoe and takes the abuse of low water pretty well. Just as long as I'm not taking it for a drag I'll be happy. Gotta get home so I can post that pic. Maybe I can get out earlier tomorrow and hit the river tomorrow.
