Fished Balus again today. Got out a little earlier today and it payed off, kinda... Landed a few fish that went low to upper teens. Had a bunch of hit and runs. Two fish we hooked up with took me right into the timber. It seems like every big fish I hook takes me into the timber, breaks the line, straightens out the hook, takes me into the timber, busts the knot, spits the bait, takes me into the timber, yadda, yadda, yadda. Maybe one day I'll catch a break. Sounds like the Captain caught some nice fish this weekend. Anyway, hope everone who went out did good.
