I need to wade out to the cages and check out whether they've laid any strands yet. I think I was really pushing it this year as about 50 miles south of us they started spawning 10 days ago - I caged my females and males about 5 days ago. Used rope and pvc sticks for egg strands...hope it works.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
