Jehren, many folks who love Econ as much as I do would likely love me to tell you that they just aren't there...

... but that would be a lie.
Truth is that I'm a HUGE fan of the gold spoon too and have hit double digit numbers of reds out of Hickory Mound MANY a time. Now THIS said, I've also gone one day to a favored spot and caught 20+ fish, with bite after bite action, and triple hook ups with guests on my boat, only to go a day or two later and get skunked or land one.
Like someone once told me, that's why they call it "fishing" instead of calling it "catching"!

Lots and LOTS of variables that can make them bite one day but not the next, even BE in one area one day and MOVED OUT another. Sorry you hit it on a bad day, but will also tell you the older I'm getting I'm finding that the area is so dadgum beautiful and time spent on the water there so precious, the double digit days are icing on the cake and slow days are good cake days too, just minus the icing.
