Pete Jr. took me fishing out of Riverpark today. We fished from RP to downtown. The flow was 47K cfs and the surface temp was all the way up to 41, LOL. He again put me on a good smallie on a jig/pig, but it came unbuttoned at the boat. We guessed it was about 4.5 lbs., made me rather unhappy, it was my only chance at a bass all day except for some pecks that I missed emoBang

Pete was the bassman today catching a keeper smallie on a tube , 2 largemouth one of which was in the 4 lb. range and a decent spot on spinner baits. We again loaded the boat with drum on tubes and jig/pigs, they are everywhere. No particular pattern today, fished mostly rip-rap.

We don't usually take pictures of drum, but Drumking wanted to see pics of some of his pets, so we are posting some. I could't get Pete to smile for his pic of a drum, but he did for the bass. I could smile with the drum, because I didn't catch any bass :) emoRedface All fish released.

All in all, an enjoyable day, thanks, partner!

C'mon Jr. Now you will have to admit that you had fun catching one of my pets. I'll bet you can smile on a pic with them. Nice going, Pete. emoBigsmile emoGeezer

Ok.... I admit it. Your pets are fun to catch too. Next time I will smile.... emoLaugh Without the Drum, It would be very slow below the Dam on some days.....
 
Nice report. Thanks for going with me. Enjoyable day. Boy was I worn out though.

I hate your good one got away. Those Brownfish have a way of shaking loose like no other fish.
