Wish i could have been around when those franklin fish were there. They had good genes and were huge but now that areas closed as the run plummeted.

Barkely has been heating up as of late, as more bait continues to enter and stick inside. Cree/Austin, Swale, Vernon, Effingham and Diplock have all produced reasonably well over the past week and change.

Dance Card is already full, but if you're interested in getting out with this ol

Mistress Pacific has to offer!!
Tight Lines!
