Hey Rookieboy, thanks for the sympathy and condolences. Nine hours of fishing without a single hit was hard to take. I could have stayed in bed and caught as many! The problem was that I had no clue what those fish wanted yesterday. They didn't "tell" me what they wanted me to throw at them. Before I left for home, I even tried for yellow bass, and caught nothing. I haven't fished with Joe Owens yet on Canyon, but I going to try to. :?
