Hi Gang,
The river was at 7.9 with 93,400CF of flow and 54 degrees at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week we had 5.2 with 36,000CF of flow and 58 degrees. The BP was 30.65 and steady.
1. Trip #1 – Guide Scouting Trip - This was on Monday and we fished from 2:00 – 6:00PM and we and we boated 29 Smallmouth and 2 Fallfish. The largest was 18.5” and we caught it on a Grub. We caught them on soft plastics and Stickbaits. We had 3 over 18”. We had 6.5 – Falling – Stained – 62,700CF and 59 – 64 degrees. It was sunny and mild with a BP of 30.30 and Rising.
2. Trip #2 – Guide Trip – This was on Wednesday morning and we extended the trip and we boated 22 Bass. The largest was 19.75” – 3.14# and we caught it on a Salty Spider Jig. We caught them all on soft plastics and we had 2 over 18”. We had 5.7 – Steady – 47,198CF – 63-67 degrees. It was sunny and hot with a BP of 29.85 and Steady.
3. Trip #3 – Guide Trip – This was on Thursday morning and we fished from 6:30 – 10:30 AM and we boated 7 Smallmouth. The largest was 15” and we caught it on a Salty Spider Jig. We caught all the fish on soft plastics. We had 5.4 – Falling – Stained - 42,597CF – 63-66 degrees. It was blue bird skies and warm with a BP of 29.80 and Falling. I do not know what the problem was. I am sure we were over fish but we could not trigger them. It was a poor moon phase for fishing.
4. Trip #4 – Guide Trip – This was a Saturday AM trip and we boated 16 Bass and 1 Flathead. The largest bass was 17” and we caught them all on soft plastics. We had 5.2 – Falling – Stained – 36,000CF – 58 degrees. It was sunny and extremely windy and we had a BP of 30.65 and steady.
5. Trip #6 – No Trip
6. The extreme changes in water, depth, clarity and temperature has made the fishing inconsistent. With stable weather pattern I am expecting a good week next week as well as we have a better moon phase than we had at the end of this week.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
