Thanks Rich, and YES, your guided trip of that creek paid off, kinda. I
went to one spot we fished, by the two restaurants, and hooked a big bass on
my 1st pitch in there. I was using a big tune & some 4/0 hooks I bought
recently. I noticed a fine layer of rust on them but used one anyway.
Well, what I didn't realize was that all the barbs on those hooks were
practically dust. I eased up for 1 second on that 4-5#er & the hook slid
right out. Oh well, lesson learned. The we didn't fish the spots I caught
my 3 keepers, but I'll be glad to tell you about them & another spot.

Privately, of course ;-)

Congrats on the win, Warren. A win is a win is a win. Tough conditions and
you managed to stay focused. Even taking a run out to Port Ewen under the
conditions you faced was more than I'd have been able to muster. Well,
maybe when I was a young pup like you I'd've tried it.G

Anyway, you know where I was this weekend. There were 3, two day club
tourneys going on there as well, and even though the fishing was better
than what you guys found, two of them cancelled their 2nd day as well.

Oddly enough, the conditions weren't quite as bad on Sunday -- although
the
fishing wasn't as good.

I hope the day you spent not catching fish with me in the creek a couple
years back did some good this weekend.
