Had great time fishing the 29th annual Jesuit Alumni Rodeo,initially set for Friday and Saturday before Father's Day in June but got rescheduled for June 16,17 th and me,CCAguns,his son,Tiger,my two sons and grandson fished together yesterday for our salt water portion and younger son,CCAguns,and Tiger fished the freshwater portion up in CCAguns' fine Liberty Trace private lake near Liberty,MS and younger son managed to nab a fine bass this past Friday and we debated extending our stay til Sat afternoon,but I promised older son and grandson that we would get the crew together yesterday to try our luck in Chef area,trouble was the water was nasty pretty much everywhere we tried and all we could muster,besides a few crabs perfectly suited for soaking for bull reds and black drum,was a stinking hardhead catfish that grandson caught on cut croaker.Had great time and enjoyed the camraderie and chatted with 5-speck stringer winner,Doc Weiss,and Gary Discon and a few of the regulars.One lucky fellow won a trip for three to join Gary Discon on a fishing trip to be decided at a later date.Enjoyed listening to Capt CT Williams and also met a few potential fishing podnas!!Our strategy for freshwater paid dividends but we need to fine-tune salt water strategy and might slightly alter our salt water strategy to include two boats and seeking different species the second day.Think we got excellent chances at perennial freshwater winners!!Thanks again,CCAguns and hope Tiger had fun as well,know my sons and grandson enjoyed themselves yesterday!!!
