Went to the river with a friend of mine. We tried right off to catch a striper and met Wevans. :thumbup: Good to meet you and finally put a face with a name. We gave up on that in short order and started our search for a few willing bass. We went up dead river a piece and started fishing the grass edges. No bites there. We then went back passed the state park and took a right and headed toward the train tressle. Nothing up there either. On the way back down we stopped on a deep bank and and caught a few nice ones to 2.5#'s. After that we went up a few creeeks to flip the brush. Only one small one was caught doing this. Back to the ledges and we caught some more small bass and a small red. Total we caught 9 bass and 1 red. All were caught on taquilla shad worms except one and that was on a red shad. It was a decent day on the river. Not real good catching wise but it was fun.

Thanks. Maybe we'll try that next time. I know a place I can load up on wild shiners before we go. Maybe they will work well there for the bigguns.
