Went down to the narrows of the Rockcastle River this past weekend, mostly to camp with the GF.

Anyhow, managed two spotted gar on the tanglemouth lure (my first). I was disapointed when they didn't fight really at all. It was like catching a stick or something and the two I caught were pretty big.

Highlight was the smallmouth bass that we got into. We caught several good sized smallies. Had the biggest one of my life break me off at a rock

Just to warn you though that is rough country. Current is too fast to boat (unless your an expert) and the rock will beat you up walking over them all day (and I am a young man)

Also saw at least a dozen copperheads and another dozen non-poisonous water snakes...!

Just thought I would tell you all.

Going to lake Beulah this weekend, any advice?
