7/3 Report

Fished below the dam yesterday afternoon. Tried fishinwrench's advice from the previous thread and it worked pretty well. I didn't tear it up or anything, but caught a pretty decent number of whites and got broke off by what I'm assuming was a good sized hybrid. Several freshwater drum and a very aggressive green sunfish also made it to the shore. Fishing started off dead but then they started to run water and it got good for about an hour, which was when I basically caught everything for the day. 

 

As you can imagine the day before the 4th, there were plenty of people enjoying the river. But it wasn't all that bad. The only thing I found mildly entertaining was the guy who said "Hey, what you do that for?" or something similar just about every time I released a fish. I told him I was about to head out of town for awhile and didn't feel like cleaning fish (all true), but I think the whole thing offended him pretty bad.

I’m sure it did.  I am also sure that he doesn’t know that there are rules associated with you giving him fish.

Yeah, I thought about that too. Just didn't get the sense that he'd be receptive to that discussion

I’m sure you are right about that.
