We'll have to get the New Athens location figured out.I think Saturday afternoon isn't the time to go there. But it has potential.

Saturday morning/afternoon isn't a good time for below Carlyle either. How they cram that many boats in there is amazing.

We did do pretty good at Carlyle. We never got close to the dam and got into lots of bigheads on Friday night. It took us a bit to figure out how to get close enough to shoot them. In the end we only shot three, but we could have gotten more if we had given up on the spotlight earlier and just relied on the Hawglite. During the day Saturday we shot commons, gar and buffs. The only people to say anything to us were some bank fishermen who, upon watching a common carp get whacked, said "That's pretty cool!"
(we stayed in that backwater area)

We only got two fish at New Athens, we bugged out early after Rob called and said the storm was coming.[]

It was nice seeing you guys again, and thanks for the sausage.
