jude Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 I'm thinking about it, but I can't be sure until I know how many days away it is. In color. Quote
jude Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 That seems doable to me. I'm in. Please count me as such. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 That seems doable to me. I'm in. Please count me as such. Such as counted. Happy to hear it! Quote
Terry Dodge Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Posted April 24, 2015 I'm in. Damn it! You are counted. Quote
jude Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Don't know if you noticed, Tim, but when I said I was in Terry was "happy to hear it". You got "damn it". Just an observation. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Posted April 25, 2015 The coming week is looking good. I expect the Kish to be flowing at an ideal level. The below normal over night temps (dipping into the 20's) that we have been experiencing the last couple weeks have kept the smallmouth in a somewhat negative mood. I expect this mood to change during the warming days ahead and look for the smallies to begin their pre spawn feed starting on Saturday, May 2. We're somewheres in the area of 6 to 7 days away from the float date. Bring your Chug Bug. And with some skill and some luck, you just might catch one of these.... Quote
jude Posted April 26, 2015 Report Posted April 26, 2015 I'm pretty optimistic looking at the current levels and the forecast. The timing looks perfect! Combine that with the best B&G east of the Mississippississippi? Should be a great day. Quote
tgoodmanii Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Yes, I noticed Terry's lack of excitement when I said I was going. I had the same response when I noticed how teeny tiny that smallmouth was he said we might get "lucky" to catch. Looks like great weather and river conditions. Top that off with some of those little fish Terry catches and it might be a good day! Quote
Terry Dodge Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Posted April 27, 2015 Or maybe one of these.... 18 inches of pure arm burning smallmouth > Quote

Terry Dodge Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 As of now (12:31am 4/28/15) there are only a total of 4 of us. Don't think I need to make reservations at the cafe for that amount. Should be a nice day. There is talk of maybe some thunder storms later in the day. We'll see how it plays out. Tim is the only one I would worry about. ***BREAKING NEWS*** The Migration is complete. Quote
