Had a chance to go out this morning and hit the banks of the tranquil and calm Mississppi. Very quite, and relaxing, Nice to get out before the heat hits.
I banked two nice fish.
A surprise 3lb Walleye caught on my UL rod:
A nice Silver Redhorse.
(I gotta do some homework but other than the missing red tail I could wear it is a greater Redhorse)
and lots of out of season bass.....
I forgot my odds and end kit this morning so I had no split shot and the current was swallowing all my expensive and hard to find sinkers so I went old school on my three way rig:
Oh what a beautiful morning.....

Can't say that I've ever used rocks before but I've used hex nuts or washers. Nice outingzippyfx wrote: I forgot my odds and end kit this morning so I had no split shot and the current was swallowing all my expensive and hard to find sinkers so I went old school on my three way rig:

Nice fish and you may have a new sinker to market in the future.
Re: Oh what a beautiful morning.....
You surely aren't the first to use a rock as a sinker...
Nice fishin' for a couple hours!

Way to make do with what you have!!
I was once shore trashing for crappies and lost my last float. A small twig tied onto my line saved the day.
