When Jupiter aligns with Mars

Day started a little shaky when I zoned.  Wanted to get on the 15 and realized my mistake in Purserville.  Good thing I knew the back roads around Mt Weather and was able to hook up with Leon right at the time we planned.  Hope I didn't pass any speed cameras!

Hit the water at around 0730 and was instantly rewarded with a flock of turkeys in one field.  I counted about 8 of them including a strutting Tom.  Then across the river Momma deer was playing with her Bambi deer.  Cute.

Was a beautiful day to be on the water.  Day started with sprinkles, and the weather was comfortable and ended up being hot by the end of the float when the clouds all cleared

Fish were active.  Senko's turned out to be the most productive bait.  I'll let Leon talk about the bait he used to catch the the biggest fish.

Got into one hole where I got 3 fish to lip and two I saw jumping and became unbuttoned right at the boat.

All the fish we caught were over 14" and healthy.

Nice day to be floating the river

Did Waze Daze you? lol

Glad you boys had a good outing.

It sprinkled on us while we got ready to get on the water but it was a non issue.


Time to go fishin' again!

Re: When Jupiter aligns with Mars

You guys are having a lot of fun out there.  I'm living vicariously through you all for now.  Nothing better than being outdoors and enjoying what nature has to offer us.  I may not have been there, but your report george makes me feel like I was!  Thank you!

Re: When Jupiter aligns with Mars

Good day for me size wise.  Two 14's, a 16 and a 17.

A red chatterbait scored the 16, the rest on a senko.

Always a great day on the water with George.

Nice work Leon! What made you throw the red (Doug's color) chatterbait?

Re: When Jupiter aligns with Mars

For largemouth in spring, throw any color you want as long as it's red.  I haven't found that the case for small mouth yet but Leon might be on to something
