Saturday wade

[PatientlyWading24]

Got out early sat and the water was in great shape, a little higher than the last time with a little more flow and a great temp, which was definitly down from the last time i was there. hit a couple on a tube early then hooked into a few more on a topwater, that bite was very slow. did get one 12" Lm. Partner got a nice 17" smallie on an inline and then we pitched tubes for the better part of the day. shortly after switching i hooked into the fattest 15" ive ever seen, this smallie was built like 2 tons of bricks. when he got hooked up he shot up about 2 feet OVER my head. We continued to catch fish all day. Mid afternoon my partner landed a 16.5" LM in some real shallow water, was a real nice fish. A LOT of small fish. For the day we caught over 100, best numbers day i have had in a long while.
Did catch 6 different species, caught multiple of each type of black bass, but mainly smallies. Red eye, was my first one in this area in over 3 trips. a crappie about 7". Also the big daddy a 21" catfish that hammered a tube. Ol whiskers was probably pushing 5lb.
The fishing stayed pretty consistant all day. but later A little pop up storm came through and when it was done the fish went wild for a second. Throwing a tube into current behind some riffs, caught 4 fish in a row and every single one of them had a craw in its mouth (the only ones all day that did) These craws were still moving and pinching and had probably been in the mouth less than a few seconds. It only lasted for about 10 minutes but it was wild, they were hungry and just jumping out the water. guess that storm really pushed their buttons. Had a great day.

I ran into some guys Saturday Morning at Elkhorn around 6:00 am and asked them to keep an eye out for some folks littering and leaving their fire burning strong after they left. Was that you?

Yea man, I know you heard us coming, but you sure suprised us, haha. Not used to seeing anyone out there... except the Catfish Couple, once. I will for sure report them if i see them again. There is absolutely no excuse for that.

On a side note, i felt bad, like we cut you off sorta. thats why i asked what you wanted us to do or what we could do. We try to get out a couple times a month and have never run into anyone that early. I hope that we didn't upset you or screw you up in any way. we really fished those first few pools very lightly. We fished the entire day though. did you do any good? and again sorry, if we in any way messed you up it was not our intentions.

You should drop me an email sometime.

You didn't cut me off at all. I was going to just lag behind you guys, after I hit that first spot. I stayed in that spot a while cause I missed four fish and was determined to catch one of them.

I left early because I think I was attacked by a bad Sausage Egg McMuffin and shortly after I talked to you guys I headed back to the truck. The day just went down hill from there. I ended up on the couch all day waiting for the angel of death. Next time I'll stick with my usual bacon egg and cheese bagel for breakfast.
