Sounds like you guys had a good time. Good going redcrabber on your leading fish. I'll have to add that area to my list of places to try. Glad to hear you guys got into fish this time
I hit the road about 10 pm after getting the kids in bed and arrived at my rock to find the current screaming thru the ditch.
5 oz was in order. JJ18 was over to my right and getting a few fish, he came over and then we moved to the right where he was as they were'nt biting where I was. Managed 3 fish on 4 casts but then I had to change back to black as they slowed while JJ18 just about doubled my numbers. As soon as I switched to black I set up on a fish that took some drag and it took me up to the surface out in the middle of the ditch. Landed it and measured to over 37" fork.
Where we were there wasn't that much weed in the water but there was a piece or 2 of grass on every retrieve.
It was good to get out and fish.
Nice to meet you canalratt.
Congrats Smokey.
