I teamed up with Drag4striper on Saturday morning to share a few of my urig techniques. I think he went away laughing . WT was at 80.4 and the AT started at 66 and quickly started to rise. Went to the place everyone on the BW seemed to be. Got to see the pro's (mward and bentrod)out today and they got to see me hang a urig in a tree that we were able to get back. I snagged something earlier off of a shallow hump and reeled in a dang stump. That braid is awesome stuff. Fish seemed to be scattered and we ended up with 2 keeper fish (24" & 25") from the parking lot. Decided to give up on the crowd and headed up lake for a piece(not the piece you are thinking of bigun and striperjohn ) and nothing. Moved further up and managed 2 more small fish and they were promptly released. I think we called it shortly after 11 and headed in. I fried those fish for breakfast this morning. Fish and grits with fried taters and onions.

Gator - I figure if you're not hanging up a u-rig you're not fishing the aggressively enough. Of course I can't get one out for more than 5 minutes without being hung up. You worked that retriever well.
Didn't realize you had another board member with you - Drag4Striper - nice to see another SML Fishing Forums face out there!

"Fish and grits with fried taters and onions."
MMmm...good! Gettin' the hang of that rigger, Mike. I was hanging up a lot using redfins so I finally switched out the hooks to the weedless variety. Seems a lot better. Ever go weedless on your u-rigs?
What were those guys teasing you about when you mentioned the crown royal? At least now I know what to get you for Christmas.
Tight lines,
Jim

Enjoyed fishing with you Gator. No laughing from me brother. You are an asset the fishing community. Hey if you are the crown royal most interesting man where were those beautiful ladies that go along with the job? Are they kept in the barn with the crown for hay rides? Stay on the lookout keeper of the crown. I think Gators holding out on us. Good to see some of the board members while out on the water.
