New Location Trip

[snagged in outlet 3]

I had to work this morning so I couldn’t get out until about noon.  I decided to go to a spot I have never been to before because the sun would be high and I could see where I was going.   I knew the water would be low and I would need the high sun to get through the shoals in my jump boat.

 Im glad I waited because I would’ve run a ground several times.   I ran about 4 miles and fished my way back.  Smallies, spots, largemouth and even a catfish.  All on a square bill.  Here’s a couple of the nicer ones.  18” and 16”s.

Must have just been a good day for river fishing.  A buddy and I floated a 5 mile stretch of a local river this morning, and caught about 40 bass in less than five hours, including a half dozen smallmouth between 17 and 19 inches.
