Got a chance to fish the upper feather with my buddy James and didn't say no. Started out bright and early to make the half hour run....10 minutes into our fishin, I hook up with a nice one that came unbuttoned and then it was James's turn, a chunk that took a hair raiser:

Continued on for about 2 hours for the next bite, which in this case, happen to be a nice smallie that ate my 128 pointer:

Skunks off, even though it wasn't the right kind per se. Tryed hard for another 4 hours...By mid afternoon, I'm trying to think of bright ideas to get bit. Striper eat lamprey eel up in this part of the river, so I tied on the closest thing I had to an eel in my box - a T-rigged 7" pumkpin senko.....wouldn't you know it, 20 or so casts into it and its fish on for me:

Turned out to be a nice #14. Stoked!:

All in all, a fantastic day on the river, despite high flows and 25kts+ of wind all day. And thanks for the invite James - it was awesome to let somebody else do all the hard work and just fish.
