No sight fishing though, just blind cast into holes and moving water near dams.

I know they are picked up by hardware much more easily but I like to do things in a manner that makes it more fun...flypredatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118117022183108076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371002383414336856.post-9910174223097055362011-08-25T07:41:34.844-07:002011-08-25T07:41:34.844-07:00Obviously a sheephead.

I like 'em, they pull hard. My biggest is 14-7 in Champlain and 17lbs on Kentucky Lake.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262785767613600690noreply@blogger.com
