MY PARTNER & I CAUGHT MOST OF OUR FISH OUT FROM HICKORY MOUND. FISHING A CAJUN THUNDER WITH A 2 1/2 LEADER AND A NEW PENNY GULP ON A RED LEAD HEAD IN FOUR FOOT WATER. THE WATER WAS DARKER OVER THERE. THE WATER OUT FROM ENCOFINA WAS CLEAR MOST OF THE DAY. WE TRIED THERE FIRST THING THAT MORNING. PAM FULLER FROM ADEL CAUGHT A 41 INCH RED JUST OUT OF THE MOUTH ON WEDNESDAY, I WILL SEND CHALK AN EMAIL WITH A PICTURE.
