Decided to try my luck on the river for the first time in quite a while...
I launched from Salmon River at around 9AM as it was coming up on low tide....I headed up into the cove and spent a couple of hours with nothing to show except 1 small pike on a shakey worm! (There was a bass tourney so I think most of the cove had been worked over pretty good by the time I got there.)
Next I headed out to the main river and concentrated on some weedlines in the no wake zones. (It's amazing what some of those bigger boats consider to be no wake!!   ) Anyway,..I ended up with nothing on the shakey worm, nothing on a horny toad and 2 bass a jig. The bass were decent,..one 3-lber and one 2-lber.
I also had one other bass in that same size range come off on a jump and in the very clear water, I could see a few pike following my jig without biting (including one really big one!!  )!
