    Report: I hammered fish all day today with the banjo minnow. My partner caught'em with the walking worm. He ran out of walking worm hooks so he was forced to use the flying lure. He was not as succesfull with that bait.
    City: p.hill, ca

    Tips: Keep plenty of walking worm hooks in your tackle box. you never know when your going to get on to a good walking worm bite.

    Report: Joe the fish are biting. It is all about whether or not you have a clue what you are doing. Get out there and try. I could tell where and what they are biting on but next you would probably ask me to catch the fish for you.
