Ronald,

Not asking for the exact location but would it be fair to ask if it was caught in your home county or the county to the north????

If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

hee hee... i have no idea where the fog and snow is... But i was spinning a blank day at a local popular area near me.. and these beauties were swimming at my feet.... well 3 feet out from me.. admittedly they were smaller.. do they get bigger further out if they do i might have found a use for my second rod..
