rising river
 

Went with a buddy today to test some of my cranks. With the full moon and the river not being as high as I wanted, we only caught a dozen or so bucks and a couple small sows. The females appeared to have developing egg sacs. Catching these small males and few females in known bedding areas tells me that the spawn in this pit is right around the corner. The Pearl is still rising, so, we might check it again Saturday. Them lil fellers absolutely hammered these cull cranks, tho. I kept one of the males to try to use it's skin on some crankbaits. Enjoyed gettin' out.:)

that's some nice fish and some good looking colors on baits

I bet it feels great to catch something on a bait you made/painted. Good Deal!
