Cape Fair 8/12

[Seth Clarkson]

I don't have much to report from today other than the fact that it was a nice morning to be out on the water. Temperature was much more enjoyable and the breeze was nice as well. Put in at Bridgeport around sunrise and was off the water around noon.  Only caught 5 or 6 bass, a couple perch and my first Ned rig crappie. The big bass was 3.77lbs and 19 inches. This one seemed a little top heavy with a short tail end but I definitely can't complain. Catching it on a 4 1/2 ft ultralight with a Ned rig made it that much more enjoyable. This is my first fish on the Ned over 18 inches, so gives me hope for running into some bigger ones again with in the future.

If you throw the little guy in an area where good fish are available, they'll eat it too.

Not bad for August daytime fishing.

I also forgot to mention that two of the bass came on a loon 130 Whopper plopper near James River. I had a couple of others swat at it and I pulled it away from them so a little more of a topwater bite then I had seen the last couple months.

The rest of the year will be interesting now that we finally got above 500. If our bullpen can hold a lead we would be set.
