LAD, u r right on the TB temps, fished this weekend, got my first check from atourney in the kitty. every time i think about upgrading to a new model she pulls out an awesome day on the lake. give me a call and we can make a trip to the bend. water temp 50 in the am warming to mid 50s in the day but these cooler nights and cloudy days we are losing what we gained every day. the fish are hungry though. i will post the pics when i get the camera from the camp. did i mention first ever tourney and got 3rd? i might have found a new hobby but it was probably luck.brad
