Tough Day at Old River

[escout]

Fished Old River Vidalia yesterday. If I got $5 for every gar I hooked, I could buy a new trolling motor. Caught several cat fish including an Op about 7 pounds. Had a 3 foot long Asian carp jump in the boat, but it missed me! Didn’t catch a single crappie!! Livescope was busy with all manner of creatures.
Other wildlife included 3 alligators, Black Bellied Whistling Ducks, many herons and cranes, some that I don’t know the names of. And buffalo gnats!!
Other than that, big motor ran great and trolling motor still 24 volt wide open or nothing. Did find some green willow trees, but that didn’t work either. Next stop, Louie or St John.
