Oh what a beautiful morning.....

Had a chance to go out this morning and hit the banks of the tranquil and calm Mississppi. Very quite, and relaxing, Nice to get out before the heat hits.

I banked two nice fish.

A surprise 3lb Walleye caught on my UL rod:



A nice Silver Redhorse.



(I gotta do some homework but other than the missing red tail I could wear it is a greater Redhorse)


and lots of out of season bass.....

I forgot my odds and end kit this morning so I had no split shot and the current was swallowing all my expensive and hard to find sinkers so I went old school on my three way rig:

Can't say that I've ever used rocks before but I've used hex nuts or washers. Nice outing

Nice fish and you may have a new sinker to market in the future.

You surely aren't the first to use a rock as a sinker...

Nice fishin' for a couple hours!

Necessity is always the mother of invention! Very creative.

Any morning on the banks sure is a beautiful morning. Always love your multispecies reports.

Sinkers meant to look like rocks.... I would trademark that

Way to make do with what you have!!

I was once shore trashing for crappies and lost my last float. A small twig tied onto my line saved the day.
