Guest rich mc Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 thats right. Eric may get 50 in a morning. we may get over a thousand per hour.four to five thousand for a morning outing. larry that has been draining the ponds has released over 600 smallies in 4 days! and the fish will get more active. rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKollmann Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Did Steve K bring his boat? Sorry, Ed . . . last night came down with a bad sore throat, congestion and fever. Stay tuned tho . . . my boat will indeed make its way to Shabbona one of these days (maybe even later next week if I can shake this cold). Thanks for asking.
