A great day on the water with great folks. Double-dipped today with Steve Elg and his two sons for a Full Day Trip. Then a Quick Trip in the afternoon with Kevin McMahon and his sons.<br /><br />Name a species of fish, other than drum, and we probably caught it today. We started after the cats with WLG &amp; Company. The first hour or two was hot, then they cooled off. We started throwing jigs for crappie, and Clint Elg had a blast on a couple of hefty blues on the ultralight gear. Clint hasn&#39;t done a whole lot of fishing so he got quite a lesson bringing in a 10-pound blue on a 4 lb. test ultrlight. It took some minutes. We hammered a few bluegill and then ran downriver to chase spots. Everybody caught some of everything.<br /><br />Clint is shipping out for Iraq soon so today was a super father-son(s) get together. I was proud to play host.<br /><br />Afterward I picked up the McMahons and sort of repeated the process... a few crappie, a few bluegill, a couple of spots, rock bass and one hefty blue (again on the ultralight).<br /><br />Bottomline.... great fun was had by all, which means life is good and gettin&#39; better everyday..<br />
