7. This is typically one of the best times of the year to fish for bass. This is currently in jeopardy as the fish commission is considering closing the river to bass fishing in the C&R area from Mid April to Mid June. Please contact the fish commission and express your opinion. I will be glad to provide you with contact information and information from the paper if you like.
8. We now have our Catfish Gold Punch Bait in Stock. It comes in original and blood and the cost is $6.95 per pint.
9. The river continues to be rapidly changing. We cancelled some or our trips again this week. We hope to be able to start running trips again on Tuesday of this week.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
