7-21-2010 Fishing And River Report

[wacky worm]

hey there everyone i havent posted in a while been busy floating boats

we have fished several times lately and done quite well

so last night we launched at 7:15 pm at hog heaven headed to riverside

our good friend walt is in town and he took reds pero

me and jean ann in the general slocum

temp was still warm

moon came out about 3/4 full

i caught a fish on the first cast with the wacky worm

jean ann was fishing a new color worm "bull frog" (zoom) she caught at least 15 she also lost a few that we got to see close to the boat

it was a good mix of smallies and largies with a occasional goggle eye

i was showing her how to catch fish on the shallow side of the river

watch carefully and have a rod and reel ready with a top water plug

you will see fish moving in to get the shad and you throw right in on top of him and most of the time he will hit it

i caught at least three quality fish that way last night i was using my 15 dollar Sammie

we sat and caught fish at reds beach till 10:30 pm

then paddled on down to the take out

fishing at night this time of year is the only way to fly

sorry phil my camera has some issue (dont we all) :D

keep floatin

Hey Russ,

My boys and I are about to wrap up the baseball season. We want to come down the first week of August, the 4th, 5th, and 6th. My dad and nephew want to come too. I will bring my kayaks and would like to get a couple of your jackson kayaks for my dad and nephew. Will you guys be there that week?

[wacky worm]

sure brother come on down

there might be a river here when you get here if not we can turn on the hose and get wet

you have to be missing the water and such

we will float and catch some fish

see you soon
