Blasted off at 5:30 am. Headed upriver to a hump adjacent to the main channel. Bait was active, but the current was dead slack. We chunked cranks for around 20 minutes, and I caught a 12' dink, and my co-angler nabbed a solid keeper right at 15". From there, we bolted down river to a major creek to fish around a marina. We caught around 8 more fish here, and I left with a small limit of club keepers (12+ inches, since we don't actually weigh them in).
We ran way down river to a main channel ledge to throw a rig. We landed around 10 more fish here, with 7 or so keepers. I was able to cull up to just over 8 lbs here, but we did not get a big bite. When the fish quit biting here around 9 am, we ran North to fish more ledges, but we would only catch two more small fish all day. The bite just died with the rising heat.
We turned in our weigh sheets at 12:30. I ended up 3rd, and my non-boater finished 2nd. The good news is that my lead in the AOY race remains at 12 lbs going into the last event.
Until next time.
