The storms yesterday kept us from being able to do much bass fishing, but we were able to catch a couple of decent LM on a c-rig before dark on a main river bar. This morning two friends and I slid the flat bottom in and headed accross the river to a shellcracker hole that has produced in the past. They were in there thick! I used one worm all day! After the first fish I knew what was up so I just used an old piece of a crappie grub laying in the boat. We ended up keeping 79 huge shellcrackers and 2 bull blue gill. In about an hour and a half then had to hide from more storms that ended the day. We cleaned fish for at least 2 hours, but it was fun!

churly, don't know it you'd be interested, but one of these would cut down on that cleaning time:

yeah, slo-ride, we talked about getting one of those things. It would have saved us at least an hour of cleaning time. But truth be known we only usually keep 1 or two good messes a year, and its good to get covered in cracker scales at least one good time a year!
TT you dont have to lock thru to get there from Chester Frost. It is upriver past Sale Creek but before 60 bridge. I doubt we will run that far for the Crackers this weekend. We were gonna just stay on the lower end and try to find them. The hole time my partner kept saying, man we shouldn't be ripping the fish like this the weekend before the big tourneyemoLaugh I have the shirts, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone there!
