McAlpiine Today

FIshed the lower today ,tried to go to the upper but water was too low .Got 2 hybrids lost a big one and foul hooked the biggest shad I have ever seen.Maybe they are coming back!

No sauger and I brought minnows today . Want to say hi to the dude in the red & yellow nitro who ran right up where we were casting with his gas motor..

Just an FYI if you run the big motor over top of stripers over at the spillway it spooks them and no one catches any fish !!!! What happened to common courtesy??? And I do want to apologize for throwin my blade bait near your boat and causing you to get tangled in my line and giving you that nasty bird nest .

Anyway I think the jax salmon can be caught near the "chute" Ralph at the bait shop said he seen 3 boats anchored over there last night.I think that is where I will try tomorrow

I need to get out there. Ive been up there once since I bought a boat earlier this year, kinda got spooked. In hindsight, it wasnt that bad. I just followed other boats up the chute and around to the left past that little island then straight on to the spillway. Sound about right?

No one was catching jack when I was there so I just assumed people didnt know what they were doing, like me.

Where is it safe to anchor up and fish the spillway? I saw some boats motoring up in the current then on the trolling motor to keep them from drifting back too fast. Seemed like alot of work.

Any tips?

By the way, I work on the top floor of the Humana building downtown and I have a clear view of the upper and I see a boat or two up there just about every day, I saw one yesterday. How do they get up there?

Man bud,as soon as i get a day off and some stuff straight where i can get back to fishing im going to take you and show you the ropes.Ive just been too busy to wipe after a crap lately but i havent forgot about you.
