		<description><![CDATA[Roy and I finally got together for the first time this year at River Bend.&#160; The day was just about perfect, a nice breeze with a partly cloudy sky.&#160; The fish seemed to be happy about the weather too as we did fairly well.&#160; I took a lesson again from Roy he caught 19 bass [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first trip to River Bend this season was on a very windy, and I mean very windy day.&#160; I think it was blowing at least 25 to 35 mph and boat control was difficult.&#160;&#160; Starting out I was fishing for bass, Roy had been out a few days earlier and&#160; told me he caught [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last two days the fishing has been fairly good at least for the crappie.&#160; I’m not doing so well with the bass however, and the bluegill fishing hasn’t been that good either. On the 17th I was fishing strictly with the fly rod and the&#160; Clouser minnow in the yellow/white, and the lavender/white patterns.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took this picture looking toward the sun, sorry, I should have thought of it.&#160; Well, you can still see that it’s a nice channel cat and I weighed it at 6 lbs. with my new Cabela’s scale.&#160; I caught it while trying for crappie.&#160; It gave me a good tussle on my light crappie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m back.&#160; We had a very nice day on the last day of February, the temperature was 63 degrees&#160; and the sun was shining brightly.&#160; So, I took some of my very light tackle out and went fishing from the shore.&#160; I wouldn’t dare&#160; go in my boat with the water&#160; still as cold as [...]]]></description>
