    Headed out for the evening bite after I get the Honey-do-list checked off!! Any pointers what to look for to hook into a few picture worthy prespawners? The lower flow has me a little confused as to where to start.
    Casting to rip-rap is a given but how do I go about fishing a sand bar/flat area?
    Upstream, down stream, top, tip, Inside turn? Or do I cast around and check it all over. What depths to start at during daylight, then towards dusk I know to move in. Just looking to speeed up the learning curve a little! I have ok knowledge in reading the water and what to look for. I have a few spots picked that I THINK will work out but not sure how to attack them.
    Thanks for any input!!

    We saw photos of two 11’s, two 8’s and on 10.4. Heard of a 10.3 .

    It was a good day for big fish on P4.

    Came up empty tonight but got 7 saugs for the freezer, for 3 guys in an afternoon of fishing and beautiful(too nice) weather, I can’t complain! I’ll figure it out sooner or later unless someone is willing to share
    The 29.5″ in my avatar came post spawn/very late spring and has had me hooked on P4 ever since
