I made it out for about 1 1/2 hrs this evening, put my eggs in the anchor basket. I had a feeling I'd get a big bite. I did, after about 15 minutes. Darn thing cut me off on the bottom, in some rocks I guess. Line was badly frayed about 1 foot up. Anyway, my storage place closes at 9 so I have a feeling they are biting now. I told Richard to get my team catfish circle hook back! He's fishing a sweet spot now with 3-4 cats biggest around 25 lbs.
I was out of town to Greenville, SC this weekend, and missed the fishing. Had a great time with the lady, and it should buy me some fishing credits!
Last weekend I got on a good bass bite fishing shad and shiners, mostly shad though that I cast netted. I had a pb largemouth break a hook on me, not the line. Then I landed a psychotic smallmouth that went 21 inches. I'm thinking I'm on to something. I anchor fished a little bit with a 25 and 28 lber for big fish. Fish were tough in all the current, good stuff. I barely anchored, would have liked to anchor all 3 days but wanted to get fish in the boat. I light lined a lot of bass and cats.
I took Jeff out with his wife Lena, and they were complaining about sore arms. We caught so many blues, small ones. Jeff had a toad largemouth that said 8 lbs on the gripper. I'm thinking somewhere around 7ish.
I posted kind of late as the bass spot was really specific and I've been burned from the bank before with pressure. Richard was going to post and I told him to hold off for a bit as it's a one boat spot. I still wanted to post later, as it was an amazing weekend and shows what the river can bring. I like doing combo trips, but you all know I'd rather just catch a world record blue.
Richard has called me like 3 times anchor fishing, he's setting up for a big one. Maybe I'll do a play by play for you all sometime, I still cannot believe he is anchor fishing. Maybe an old dog can learn new tricks. emoLaugh
