I walked out 1.5 miles out of Catawba last week in the morning before the rain hit. Fished for a little over an hour and caught 1 pig. Fishing buddy caught 3 but he stayed a few more hours. It was a nice smooth walk dragging a sled. Last mile back in the rain was not very fun. We went away from then pack and commotion off of the trail. Spudded the whole way to be safe. You have to be careful around the crack as there are some weak spots from from sleds and 4 wheelers.
