Fishing Report - 6.28.22

Aurora, Carrie and I bass fished for a few hours this afternoon.  We caught two nice fish which was good because we only caught two fish.  Both fish were caught drop shotting.

Wtf happened to the summer river smallies? It used to be so easy?!

John, ten years ago Bruce and I would catch between 50 and 75 fish on a regular basis starting in UN2, working our way down the river to Isle View. Doubles, triples, if one of our buddies hopped on, were not uncommon. I forget the year, but there was this pro bass guy prefishing. It wasn't Kevin VanDam or anyone recognizable. He was flipping docks with a jig adjacent to one of our prime spots. I said something to Bruce like, "let's mess with this guy." We drifted by him a few times popping one or two nice fish each drift. We moved to a spot towards the middle of the river and started hammering fish. He eventually followed us out and asked what we were using. Minnows? Nope, Gulp!. He stopped pitching docks immediately. Now we have to work, really work to get ten fish. On a great day we might catch fifteen.
