Left Holiday Island late because of the storm cells, and headed upstream. Trolled the usual and accustomed places with zero success. Tried casting jigs and crank baits until I couldn't stand it any more. Had to drag out the A-rig and get serious as this was my first trip out this year--not by choice. I wanted to go and bled with all the reports of fish caught but couldn't.
It wasn't long before we hit fish (that is one reason I like the A-rig). Second fish in was a hybrid--my first "big" one--28.5 inches. I absolutely cannot believe how strong the fish was for its size. I think I'm in love.View attachment: hybrid.jpg
We continued to hit whites--nice big females and males that hadn't spawned yet. And my buddy tagged another hybrid--not so large, though. View attachment: white.jpg
Water temps varied between 53 to 50.5. Color was good, but there is still a lot of debris in the water, both floating and on the bank. There are also new additions in places that were open before (some big stuff just under the surface), so be careful.
