8/26 Cape Fair

[Dutch]

Jeff and I were on the water by 06:30.  It was a nice morning with the temp at 71°.  We headed up river at the first stop Jeff had a couple on a square bill  a couple of stops later I had a keeper on a square bill.  It went down hill from there.  We fished almost all the way to Carrs.  We stopped at Martin Hollow and I picked one up on a jig.

 Frustration set in and I fired up the Verado and headed down river.  We hit one spot which gave up a couple then headed to Piney.  In Piney we Carolina rigged and caught a few.  Somewhere along the way Jeff had a keeper on a Carolina rig.

We also fished School House Hollow but it wasn’t very productive.  We ended up catching 14 and quit at noon.  The water was 82-84° and when we quit it was 91°.  By the time I got home it was 96°.  I’m staying in the AC for the rest of the day.

Thanks for the trip!  

It has gotten hot for sure.

It’s been tuff in that area of the lake for a few weeks now. Thanks for the report and there will be better days ahead!
