Well, we drifted 7400 to White Bridge and had another hard fishing, but rewarding day. The fishing isn't easy, but when you are given these conditions and you still catch fish, it's very satisfying. T...

What? A one star report from a guide? No way! I'll keep it honest, you can't win them all. Plus, riding the boat with friends can be more fun that working all day for one fish.

My son and I started at the Spillway at 7am. The fish were rolling when we started fishing, so I decided to use sandshrimp. On my third cast, it was fish on. I fought it for a few seconds, felt the he...

We opted to work our h...
