: NWMA contest there from 10:00 - 14:00. Once gain NO Carp caught! No Carp in late May, no Carp in late October, go figure. 14 anglers competing, with Mick Thill winning with 10lbs of(mostly) Gills. I refused to once again go after stinking gills and targeted catfish(chummed with chiken liver ground up with bread crumbs) and carp(cumming with ground up oats, bread, corn meal and corn soaked in strawberry kool-aide.) Not even a single bite ;-(
: A few kids came by and mentioned they were going to fish the river that runs underneath the I & M(Little Vermillion???) and about one hour later they came by with some fish. Not sure which kind as one angler thought they were Crappie, another White Bass, and I thought Drum LOL. All I know, they caught more fish than I did!
: Happy Halloween all.......
I guess you got the trick instead of the treat! ;-) LOL
