Don: Thanks..I'll try that too... I have tied a bunch of both black ants, and the red fire ants we have around here...I'm about ready to head out.. Kids are loading the car right now... I'll try that.. I don't think they can see very far cause the water is REALLY muddy cause of flash flooding we have had, but still wayyy down, cause the cause the dam about 7 miles downstream has been running full blast cause of the 110 degree heat indexes we've had for three weeks....I'll know after while.... Talk soon, Chuck
