Water is up finally but with it comes the dirty water but the fish are there.
My bud Slinger and myself hit the river last night and put a couple keepers in the boat, Slingers fish was a slob. An eel and a chartreuse plastic is what these fish fell for.

| Very nice aqualung. That first one is a slob. I believe I know where your fishing. I've meet you at launch a few years back. I know someone was out last night got a nice fat 35 inches. |

| have no idea how to post piks. have farm on river been fishing for 30 years would never bs. remember how it was in early 90's? when u could use alewives? 20 keepers a night no problem? 40 boats from launch to islands? old timer showed me squid trick. and when they are in u can catch them anytime. caught them mid day at times. And dont know if its legal but i live lined white perch 2 years ago from shore instant hook up. |

| Stripers will eat anything you put in front of them. There in river for one reason to eat. Suckers work well too. Also live lining pumpkin seeds. |
