Nicely done. Looks like you had an audience. What kind of camera do you have and how is it mounted?

Awesome report George! I just read Dales column and about the guy who caught 60 bass while they dyed the river green. Pretty unbelievable. Looks like I need to get after the bass soon, though I am still hoping for one more coho...ummm.........coho.

Also, congrats on the radio broadcast! I downloaded the podcast of it, but haven't had a chance to listen yet. Can't wait to hear what you had to say.

George, (or anyone else here), how do you manage to avoid all the snags there on the west side of that spot? I've had no problems on the east side but can't stay out of the hang ups there near the wall. Suppose I could texas rig some bigger plastics but wondered if any of you had any thoughts...?
