Date Fished: 9/10/2003
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet We launched at 6:00 and were a bit surprised that it was 38 degrees. The fog was pretty thick and the fish were a bit sluggish at first. I did well with a deep running crankbait and a spinner bait early and then switched over to senkos and surface lures once it warmed up. The three of us all caught keeper bass with the largest being 3 pounds 4 ounces. We caught 25 bass in all with about half being keepers and around 10 in the 2 pound range. I thought that the bass were going to get active once the sun popped out but they never really turned on. We should have stayed around the deep pools were I had better luck early but that's always easy to say after you get off of the water! I really love that section of the river and will be going back until the season ends. I think the river is about as low as it will get and I was still able to use the outboard most of the way back. The average depth was 3 feet so be careful if you try it. Over the years I have learned the hard way where most of the hidden rocks are so I know when and where to slow down and switch to the trolling motor. river_pirate@hotmail.com
