wow, what a nice day. as we pulled off the water at 4:30 the car thermometer said 69 degrees!!
the fishing on the other hand could have been a little better. we ended up with 9 fish for 3 guys over 8 hrs. a 22″, 20″, 17″, along with a few littler ones. the two bigger fish came from the dam area on chartruse ringworms. these were really fat fish, so they were realesed. all the others came from down stream aways on jigs and minnows.
there were a good number of boats out but nothing like redwing by the sound of it. there was plenty of room for everyone to fish.
we did see one 30″ that was caught. that thing was a beast.
one other note was that the warden was sittin at the ramp checking everyone as they came in. this was nice to see being that it was the first time i’ve ever been checked fishing. gotta keep all them poachers in line.
all in all, it was a good day to be on the water, even if the fishing was less then perfect.
