you can launch with out any trouble at the state ramp your down to one lane, conditions demand you do it deliberate and slowly, not seen any full size rigs have an issue.
lots of fish caught this week end on live bait, some fellows from Winchester in a club tournament (casting, had fish early) water temp was 58 on sunday.
Level steady... I caught a few bluegil but had to work for them I fished red worms near grass lines, free line and bobber, any help here thanks.
I was told a smouth over 6 was weighed in on the live bait tourn at the state dock, Dock Master Robin Jefferson passed this along to me, it was passed along to him also, maybe accurate
