Report From 6/30

[ollie]

Another good day on the Elk. Hit the river with a good friend of mine and got there around 7:00 in the morning. I wasn't sure how the river would fish being that it was cooler and the water had been going back down. It didn't disappoint. It did at first for the first hour I don't think either one of us landed a fish. Started slow, but ended in a bang! After that we started catching dink after dink after dink. We would find a hole and they would be stacked up, but nothing big. Saw some busting shad in the shallows so I tried the fluke, but again I was denied. We switched many times until we went with some grubs in watermelon color. Bitsy Tubes is what I was using and I think my friend had on a fat albert. Anyways this went on for sometime with dinks until we got into some deeper water that was moving slower. Then the bigger fish came out. We lost a couple of nice ones, but I ended up with the biggest of the day. A fat 17" largemouth. Biggest smallie of the day probably only went 14". We were off the water by 1:00 or so, but I would say we ended up catching over 4 dozen between us all together. Wanted to add that we both hit the trifecta of bass fishing. One brownie, one white, and one black bass.
