Default Oh my Goodness !

Hell of a subject title for a one fish day but . . . <g>

Friday a buddy of mine and I went to Carthage and launched just below the Caney. I've never caught a trout so he said we should go give it a whirl. Well I still haven't but it was a fun day. First cast of the day with a little minnow swimbait I caught a small bass at the mouth. Rest of Caney was a nice site seeing trip. Surprised the water was so deep (10 -18 ft n places) for about 2-3 miles up river. Water was screaming through there though. It was a nice exploring trip though.

Reason I'm posting is becauses we then ran to Cordell Dam and then down river all the way to Rome ramp. Some great looking water, islands, feeder streams. Never hear anyone talking about this stretch so wondering if there's a good bass population there. We went as far down as Nuclear power plant and then drove back late in afternoon.

But I did want to share this with the group. It may be old news new to me. On the way downstream I saw a feeder creek on the Lowrance. As we pulled up to it the water looked an Aqua color, like the kind you see some times in borrow pits along the highways. Well, it wasn't the water that was colored it was the bottom! We pulled into Peyton creek, looked fantastic but the shocking thing was that it was gin clear. 6ft of water we could see bottom like it was the bottom of the bath tub! Beautiful little place. Haven't seen water like it except in Northern Wisc./Mich.

May be old news to you guys but in case it wasn't wanted to share. Looks like a lot of nice water to explore come this season and wondering if any of you have any thoughts or insights. Ok hope this contributed a little to the site. Enjoy reading all your posts. Have a great week.
