Troy Gregg Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 well I managed to get out and some fishing for a switch. I launched out of Cape Fair early this morning... made my first cast just after 6 A.M. The water was calm and has some color to it. I don't have thermostat on my boat so I couldn't tell ya water temps. I fished from above cape fair down to point 12. The first place I stopped I didn't catch anything, but I did see a cottonmouth (pics posted). The first fish of the day was sitting in about 3' of water on a laydown, ate the jig. I caught some of my fish on the spook chasing bait in this same area. The rest of the day the fish were pretty split up... I was catching some of my fish out of buck brush holding the boat in about 15'. I caught one on a bluff in about 20' of water. I was beginning to think I was safe from the big boats up the river, until about 11 and I looked up in time to see three good sized cruisers coming at me. I made a run to cape fair and up the river to where it bends and caught a couple more. The action today wasn't to great, but just enough to keep me going. I managed five keepers from about 6-12, and they came on either a spook, jig, or trick worm. Nothing to spectacular and they probably wouldn't have gone more than 12lbs. I will let the pics tell the story... weighed in 2lbs 10 oz on my scale... not sure on how accurate it is though 2 lbs 6 oz... nearly 18" long Troy Gregg

Troy Gregg Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 What did the snake weigh...? Lol... on a normal day I may have messed with it and I could probably tell ya.... besides it was just a lil guy, nott much longer than 18" at the most, but definately a cottonmouth. Troy Gregg
