Another follow up report. We went again on Tuesday for a short float as I had to be at work. Also, we tried a different stretch. The mornings catch was six channels, 1 Rock Bass, 1 White Bass, 1 Gar. I haven't caught a rock bass in decades. It tells me the river is cleaning up a bit more. The fish were aggressive on dead shad. Two of the larger cat we caught jumped. You don't see that everyday. They didn't clear water, but they definately jumped. Oh, and the gar WE caught bit on my hook, swam across my partners' line, got off my hook, had my partners' line wrapped through and around his snout so my partner reeled it in with the hook a foot away from its mouth or any other body part. Oh and except that the white and rock were caught on twister tails. A friend cleaned the gar and gave me half to try. He says it is better than fried catfish. It is part of today's fish fry.
Today some of my grandsons and I are headed to the dam to cast net for more bait.
