8/10 River Report

[snagged in outlet 3]

I snuck out of work about 8 am and tried to get on some biters.   River wasn’t high but was still murky to muddy.  Started with a square bill then switched to a small spinner bait.   Had several boil on it but not commit.  

I sorted through my tackle and found a small rooster tail.   Rigged up my light action trout rod and spanked em!     Even caught some big drum.   I used to get bummed when I would realize it’s a drum and not a smallie but the strike is still good.  

I spent the next 2 hours having a blast.  Casting up to the weeds and pulling it into the current. A bunch of small ones and two like this one.  Not quite 17” since I didn’t notice he wasn’t fully against the board.  Man they were killing that spinner.  12” stocker brown on the board as a reference photo.
