11-17-12 Fontana Have been off the water for two weeks and the fish have been doing a changey thing. Had Jim, Alex and Jonathan for a short afternoon trip. Went straight to the Tuck to find some bait and there is still plenty there. Worked our way back stopping at almost every point, looked and looked, and looked and just could not find fish. There is some good bait around Noland, but didn't run into much there. Came all the way back to Tsali, Greasy Br. and with one last try went up into Alarka. First point we hit with the sun getting low, had a good school of bait and fish. Had a double and then when we could stay on them finished out the day with a bang. Guys hung in there for one of the slowest afternoons I have had in a year or more, and did a good job of landing fish when we got on them. Kept enough for a nice meal and am thankful to the Big Guy in the sky for putting that bunch there, it was beginning to smell skunky. Got to meet fishon4u from NC Angler at the boat ramp. Really good to put a face on an online buddy, hope to see you again. Later Capt. James
