Cotaco Creek, 10 November 2017
First, Happy Veterans Day to all that served our great Nation!
Catch: 40. Kept 20 between 11 and 14 inches. Big fish was 14". Even caught a few bass. I couldn't find anyone at the Triana ramp to give them to, so I will be doing some cleaning :biggrin
Launched at Triana. Sunrise picture is at 0618. I stopped fishing at 0930.
Fishing was excellent today. Much better than the last trip on 14 October. Smaller fish (<9-11") were tight in the laydowns. Larger fish were in tight groups around the laydowns. I cast and let the jig follow the water column until I found fish. They were hungry. I could pick up numbers at one time then follow their slow movement.
Bait: 1/24oz plain lead head jig. Monkey milk only. Didn't need anything else today.
Water temp was 62 degrees. Water was a somewhat clear given the recent rain.
Beautiful day! Bonus was the opportunity to see a bald eagle and 4 deer crossing the creek. Tried to capture the deer with the camera. Picture doesn't quite capture the treat seeing the deer out for a swim.
Great day. They aren't always this good.
A few pics from this morning. Will try to lay out the fish for a final pic later.
