Comments

I believe this was my third and quite possible my last trip up to pool 6 this year. The reason it may be my last is because the fishing up there has sucked! Usually I do well on both largemouth and small mouth, but this year I have not done well on either one. I fished both rocks and slop, and neither one of them had any concentration of fish.
If anything I would have to give the nod to the slop. I did not catch a lot of fish in the slop, but I did have more action.

Observations:

I cannot figure out what happened to this fish in this pool, two years ago I was able to catch nice largemouth and small mouths, this year it is pretty much void of decent fish.
