Think I'll stay on my tractor, at least until the game starts. I'd welcome the breeze here in the woods. I'm real sorry I missed that real good Spanish bite---sounds like y'all caught a tucking fun of 'em. Roll Tide.

The wind was a bit 'spiffy' over the weekend (but still 'fishable').
It's even 'spiffier' out there today ;-) LOL

Put together this mosaic of shots from the cam @ 7am...
