CR Today

Went back to the river today. Got there right after day light, 4 Gen Running with lots of shad coming thru. Caught nothing in the boils and drifting back down. I went to the calm side, if I seen schools of fish on the graph, I would drop a blade bait and would catch something just about every time. Caught drum's, white's or small stripper, crappie and 1 sauger. When they shut the gen down to 2, I could not find schools of fish any more, had to make long casts with the blad bait and rip it off the bottom. Minnows only caught 1 crappie, nothing on a grub and minnow.

Hope this helps

how far can you go down river in a bass boat (safely)? Im sure if they they genorating, you can go down further. I was wanting to drift and power back up. any help would be appreciated.

With as much water there is in the river now, drifting and running back will be no problem. It would be a good time to learn a little about the river and where all the sand bars are, if you watch your dept finder. I have a 17 foot alum boat with a 70 and have no worries about running it.

Hope this helps

Yes no problems running it up on the rocks in the trees or up on a sand bar.
Sorry Billy I couldnt resist.
Actually I have spent many hours with Billy on the river.
He knows it well.
If you get an offer to go with him take him up on it.

I swear I did not see that tree, but it was funny watching you hold on to that seat.

Any went back today and man the river is tough right now. caught a few small fish and that was about it. Seen boats put in and not stay real long. Fish are hard to come buy right now. But hay I will keep trying to I figure something out.

Later buddy
