6-1-17, Occoquan River
Originally, Mike and I were going to fish the Upper River for smallies but the water levels are still high so we opted for Plan B. And it was a good plan indeed!
We set off around 7:15a....
...and it did not take long for the skunks to come off!
Mike was throwing a swim jig and I was throwing a 4" tube with a rattle (and red legs).
The tide was at dead low and it did not matter...we caught fish!
And lots more including this one with a spike!
As the tide came in (later), the bite slowed so we did as well. We started to throw the wacky and got whacked several times!
We both caught "limits" and then some. Lots of 2-3 pounders with two of them @3.5lbs. And some little ones too. More than 20 in total with Mike in double digits (I was close).
Heck of a fishing day...beautiful day....great time!
Time to go fishin' again!
