cnr Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Hit a new river section yesterday. Anyone care to guess where it's at? Interesting stretch of river and fishing was just mediocre at best. Not sure if it is typically like that since this was my first time through. Habitat looked pretty good. Caught a handful of fish and one 17.5". I did think this was an interesting rock. Wish I would of gotten a shot from upstream, the overhang was quite prominent. Even with the warm day and slow fishing it was good to be out on the water with a good friend.
Mitch f Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Nice fish! I'm pretty sure I've seen that rock but can't remember where!! "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
MOsmallies Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Nice fish and some beautiful looking water... don't know the spot. What'd that big one hit?
cnr Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 I caught all of my fish that day on a small shallow running crank bait in a light gray shad color. I traditionally use a fluke pretty hard and stick with it but it just wouldn't produce yesterday. We caught Smallies, Spots, Largemouth, and a few annoying sunfish that were about the size of the crank bait at times. I think the sunnies were aggressively defending their nests because they were really colorful in spawning colors. Here's another shot at our start of our day at the access (JoeD in the picture). Not much to go on and really annoying that the locals trash the access with beer cans and fireworks.
Smalliebigs Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 The Big River right above Mill Creek....about a mile and a half above Blckwell........the river is sweet there but the local countrycoke heads it up bad.....I have land on Mill and Cedar creek up there.
Smalliebigs Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 the bridge at Engledow and dickison rds......I have caught a lot of nice fish up there.....the locals suck there......I guess I'm one of them technically???
cnr Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Smalliebigs. Nope and nope. Getting close though. Right river and general location. we tried to get access at Coles landing and were turned down by the property owner. Nice enough guy but had been burned too many times by folks trashing up his place. We did run into the standard contingent of locals at our takeout spot. Lot's of tattoos and missing teeth in that crowd.
Smalliebigs Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 duh sorry the bridge west of Leadwood off hwy 8....we got gravel there for our exposed agregate patio in Terre Du Lac....there is usually an olde dude camping on the west side of that bridge as his drunk butt wife kicks him out all the time.....you guys should have put in at Cedar creek and paddled to your put in instead of Leadwood....I mean Methwood access
Smalliebigs Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 olde drunk Willie at the Meyer Rd Bridge....what a freak he is but, harmless....now Leadwood access has a straight up criminal feel to it at times....bad news
