Fishing Report Part I - 9/11

[Scott McKee]

Carrie and I hit the River this morning from 7 AM to 11:30 AM.  I had a decent fish on jerk tubing a Bob Hey casting rigged black Ninja Tube above the International Bridge near the small dock downstream from the cattails. We were shallow and I was casting deeper.  At the same instant I had the fish on, Carrie had a follow on a Mepps black marabou bucktail.  She estimated the fish's length at 34".  She also said it was thick.  These were the only fish we contacted.  We spent most of the trip speed trolling and casting in UN2, 13 and 12.  We didn't have any boat snacks and I should have worn socks.  It was cold this morning.  Back out for part II this afternoon with Jiggin' Joe and the dogs.  I'm going to pop one on a Bondy today since I imagine we'll be jigging a little bit.

Patience.  Just a little patience... yeeaaahhhh.  I've been trolling the strait at night, just trying to get it right.
