Today the wind chills are in the 20's here in SE PA Bob, so I can't tell you
how pleased I am to have called my brother last (Indian Summer) Friday &
taken him out on the Delaware River. Friday was t-shirt weather here, sunny
& 70. Amazing

I really just wanted to run the fuel stabilizer through my engine, which had
been sitting idol since September (my Champlain debacle). Well before he
came over I plugged up the leak that was sinking me up in Plattsburgh, & off
we went.

Remember, my brother's a raw novice - he never caught a bass on an
artificial before. I would've been happy if he got one fish based on the
time of year & experience level. We went downriver & struggled for a few
hours, then I decided to check a backwater right near the launch so back
upriver we went.

To make a long story short we nailed about 25 fish up to 3# in there, and my
brother caught a fine river limit, maybe 10# for his best 5, and the lunker
of the day a solid 3#.

I was thrilled - he's a natural. I'd love to groom my brother into my
tourney partner. I could do alot better skillwise but there's nobody
(except maybe my dad) that I'd rather have as a partner.

It was a great day to close out the season, and any time I spend on the
water with a family member is golden.

By the way we caught em on 4" Zoom junebug c-tails fished on light line &
shakey head jigs.

Tight Lines,

Warren

Winter is upon us down here and bassin is getting tough. Hard jerk baits
worked fast and erratically seem to be the only consistant producer. I
picked up one small keeper on a 4" senko to finish out the limit, but
dang. Only a jerk bait produced more than a couple bits.

I think next weekend I'm gonna run up river and gamble on cranking
smallmouth. Well, if the tin boat is back by then. I'm having some minor
modifications done so I can relocate the trolling motor. I'm sure not
going to try and run upriver in the Cat with the water as low as its been.
