Well guys, I'm not gonna lie, we didn't catch as many fish today as last week. We caught 48 in 7 hours last week and today we only caught 47 and it took us 9 hours today.
HOWEVER, today we got into some GREAT quality fish.
We started the day castin to a small cut that was dumpin water into the river and Rich and George caught 10 fish in less than 10 min.
Not real sure any of them were keeper size there though.
Then we tried another cut but nobody was home at that one. So we started trollin.
Hadn't been trollin 2 min when George hooks up, another short. We go back up river and start again and he barely got his line out when he catches another one. Well, he does that 6 times in a row and we've boated 16 fish and it hasn't even been 30 min we've been fishin.
Finally we get further down river and the action slows down some, but we're still hookin up a fish fairly often.
Then bout an hour later, around 0830, 0845 Rich and I get a double on and they're HEAVY fish.
I got mine to the boat first but I was afraid it was goin to swim into Rich's line so I put too much pressure on it for the weight of the fish in the current and it pulled off. Shortly afterwards Rich lands a 6 1/2 pounder.
We had a 3 1/2 pounfer in the box from earlier so now we have 2 in the livewell.
We go back up river and start again and as soon as we get to the same spot I hook another heavy fish. This time I land it and it's 7 1/2 pounds.
Now I was just goin to keep 2 fish today so we released the LITTLE one and kept the 7 1/2 pounder.
We start up again and pick up a few more fish in that area but none that size again.
It's bout 0900 and we have 20+ fish so far.
We continue to troll back up river and continue to add to our total. Several fish in the 3 to 4 pound range.
It's now 12 noon and our total is 30 fish and the tide is really slowin down and it's HOT for us out here, but we stayed with it for another 4 hours.
We had a few more keepers and a several shorts over the next 2 hours then it picked up a little again.
At 2 pm we had 40 fish and over the next hour we picked up the last 7, for a total of 47 for the day.
Rich's last fish was a healthy 3 1/2 pounder, nice way to end the day. George and I caught a few more shorts and a 21 and 22 incher to finish for us.
It's 4pm and we really kinda need to get goin towards home, or we could have made it to 50 today as well as last week. We left them biting.
It was such a blessing to be able to get out with good friends and have such a wonderful day in the outdoors.
Thanks guys. Can't wait till we can do it again.
The pics are of some of the bigger fish we let go and then the 2 keepers at the end.
One of the pics of the keepers is the way I take pics of our fish.
The other is the way some of the guys on the stage take pics of their fish.
You decide which is which.
The last pic is of the finished fillets. 🤠👍
