also thanks for the info, i am looking forward to going back and trying some other areas. we caught all the fish in two little cuts. started the morning in the cut right out from the locks literally a few hundred yards out and another not far from that. went all around and tried a few other places that we could get into (a lot of shallow places out there) went back to the same two cuts on the way out and picked up the last of the fish. thank goodness for those two cuts
