Chowan River .. Fri the 16th

Belated report,
Went out Fri afternoon for a few hours, hot, hot ... not the fishing the weather !
Water temp 88 , fished deep, shallow and in between caught a few keepers and a lot of little ones.........
Fished with nightcrawlers under a bobber , also used the flyrod in hopes I would catch the big one on one of my tyes......... a couple of strikes but no fish, frustrating to say the least especially since the wife was getting a fish every cast , didn`t know which one I was going to throw overboard first her or the flyrod:) We did have a good time tho.
Had a flat on the truck when we got back to the launch area / ramp..... no fun changing the tire in 90+ temps
Another hot week in the forcast so probably won`t go out, temps in the hi 90`s heat index 105 makes it hard to breathe or enjoy ourselves...
couple of pic`s

Do you ever throw a Beetle Spin up there? I used to kill the gills with 1/16 oz. that had the white body with the red dot on the back on the Yeopim up there.

Yes , but not lately, used the white w/ red dot too, also a green w/ black stripe was hot.
Caught a lot of white perch last year on beetle spins, but not much of anything this year, went from winter to summer no spring fishin.... we were sidelined a couple of months tho while the wife recovered from heart failure.... do ok now still outfishes me :rolleyes:
There is always tomorrow tho ............

WTG Pat. I used to do very well there using a black with yellow stripes split tail beetle spin. Then if we fished for bass the only thing I needed was red shad plastic worms.

Someone has to be the boss,lol.Looks nice.No green out here,all brown.

Glad Yall got out Pat. This heat sucks. They have been slaying the White perch down here around the mouth.CF

Glad somebody is catching some, haven`t caught any this year..........caught some up this way last year but must have missed the spring run..:(
Water temps in the hi 80`s , can`t find the big bream either, lots of little ones tho. Too hot to stay out long , we went out early this past Thursday saw a big cotton mouth in the Wiccacon , and another one on the road to the ramp .
I need a saltwater lic down that way right? outside the bridge ? If the weather cools off may try down that way , get out there and catch some for me
Pat

The wife with one of the gills , didn`t catch enough big ones for a mess, all were released
