I decided to try the river hoping this cold spell would push them into the deeper channels.
Headed to a spot I had in mind and started setting up for some spider rigging, before I could get my second rod out the first one bows "fish on" not a keeper but it's a fish. Ended up catching three dinks by the time I got all the rods out and they just kept coming. I couldn't tell you how many fish we caught but we could have loaded the boat with 9" and smaller fish. It was like fishing in a nursery!
The strange thing is I caught two of the largest specks I have caught this year.
We ended up keeping 9 fish but caught a ton! It was a beautiful way to spend the day.
