  1. It was a disaster at Miller Park. We were greeted with winds, rain, sleet, and cold weather on Friday. Chad managed a small channel cat on Friday and a Coot duck. Actually hooked the Coot through the bottom beak. Me and Dale stuck it out Friday night with temps in the mid 20s. Chad went home to a hot shower and bed. Saturday started out with sun and calm winds. Chad showed backup and after lunch Dave M. arrived. I caught 1 grassie early in the day and Chad had 1 latter that evening. Bruce Mitchell had his son Chris show up that evening with his food truck and provided anything on the menu for free to all of us. The food was excellant. Saturday night proved to be another losing night higher winds and coold temps keept any commons out of the net. Dave and Chad each landed small grassies. We have only caught 2 grassies in Miller park over the last 10 years what is up with this catching 4. None of them were over 12 lbs. Sunday started with sunshine and a cold East breeze. The 4 of us packed up and headed out by 11:00A.M. It is always a great time to spend with friends even though the carp were not cooperating. Fish-On Bill
