My buddy Jason wasn't able to make it out today and so my other good buddy Stan joined me today on my fourth float session.
I repeated the same fishing areas that Jason had guided me thru the last time out but we also worked some new areas that Jason had never fished before and this is where we located the majority of our fishing success, and at the end of the session I reported it all back to Jason, for him to try out the next time he (or we) head back out there. Thanks Jason! GL! Cool
