i took a freind and his son out to chase a few reds and trout. we left out around 9:30 or so and eased down the river stoped and fished a few creek mouths. when we got out to the river mouth hit a fog bank. so i eased over to possum gap and fished it for awhile. as the creeks filled enough i eased up a creek that i knew would have fish. there where plenty of reds in the creek but could not get them to bit. we throw every color spoon i had. we tried 4 different kinds of gulp. after a little while we had scared most all the reds so we eased up into the creek and found schools of trout but could not get them to hit anything .

Sounds like my fishing last weekend. That's winter fishing, though--hit or miss

You don't need a gauge, you need a water heater...just pump warm water in them holes and they start biting...works everytime :thumbup:

I try that everytime out, multiple times per trip. Need to keep fishing to study its effectiveness. :lol:
