Fishing with Gotmuddy

[Daryk Campbell Sr]

Cody @gotmuddy and I met up for a day of fishing.  I was like a kid running across a playground on the way down.  I drove through the Scenic Riverway along the Current River.   So many access points, and conservation areas.   Got down to the access, met Cody and shoved off. We got fish early on, a double at one point, but it slowed quickly.  It rained through the night and early morning, was just moving out as we launched.   I got a couple smallmouth, Cody got Smallies, a rainbow, and a pickerel.   The day was going too well, so after the trolling motor remote control battery died, Cody decided to change that up by knocking his chair into the water after we got unstuck from a rock that was holding us hostage in the river.   Welcome to the SHOW.  After we parted ways I stopped at a few access points on the way home.  Caught my first pickerel.  It was a good day.  The pickerel was on a DD Signature series jerkbait.  They catch more than big trout, at night.

Sounds like a good day. You two do seem to get stuck a bit😅.

Congrats on a great pickerel!

I had a great time once we got moving.  I just installed a new liner in my intake and got it too tight apparently 🙄 but once we got that situated the boat performed great.  I caught a trout on the first cast, and we caught 80% of our fish in the first 30 minutes of the trip.  No size to speak of, we even trailered and went to a different launch.  The river was low IMO, there were a few spots almost too skinny to run.

That's a really nice sized pickerel.

It stayed in the car.  It was rigged and ready.   I just kept thinking, John said show fish caught with something else.  Lol.
