12/28/24 River Report

[snagged in outlet 3]

Big family Christmas party got canceled today due to several being sick.   So I headed to the river around 1:30.  WT was 48 and slightly murky.   Cloudy but pleasant around 55 degrees.  
Ramp was a sloppy mess and there was a big pile of sand I had to back over to get the boat off the trailer.  My truck, trailer and boat are a mess.   I’ll go to the car wash tomorrow.  
I caught 5 in about an hour and half then they quit.   All on Crank baits and @Mitch fs fugitive swim bait.  Broke off a bigger one at the boat on the fugitive.   Looked to be about 17-18 inches.  
 I think in the winter the bite is better mid day and not so much early and late like summer time.   I think I got there right at the end of the bite because they were “on” when I started but turned off quickly.   The dark black line on the board is 15”s.

Those fish are fat!  I bet they pull like tanks.

No big ones but they were all thick like that.
