Alvin and I had not fished the Riverpark since May and with the cooler temps setting in we figured it was time for the fall bite to start down there. We did our usual beat the bank fall pattern today. Bait of choice was the pig n jig. The first 45 minutes were really good, we boated 10 bass and 2 blue cats and missed a few more. Then things slowed WAAAY down. The next hour and a half was tough. We finally made a move up river to a bank we normally don't fish and we finally found a 50 yard stretch holding some more fish.</p>

For our efforts tonight we boated 18 spots, 1 smallie, 2largemouth, 2 blue cats,a drum, arock bass, a white stripe and a green sunfish. Nothingbig, but good eater size spots.All fish came on pig n jigs fished on the bank except thewhite and green sunfish cameon a bigSammy.Whatthe green sunfish wasgoing to do with Sammy is anyone guess. emoScratch Not too bad for 3 hours offishing. Water temp was mid 70's and the current was WIDE OPEN, and so was the wind. </p>

Glad to see a report down there from you. Honestly I was expecting you to catch at least a hundred but 27 ain't to shabby.

I've caught one or two over the years that did the same thing. If those sunfish grew as big as blue cats, it wouldn't be safe to swim in the river emoBigsmile . Thanks for the report.

Man that would be a sight to see.


I actually laughed when I saw that green sunfish on that lure. That is just hilarious!

Im glad you had a good time and some good success fishing. Where along the riverpark did you fish?
