Butch and I decided to give fishing a try after all these weeks of not fishing. We got to the ramp and there 5 trailers empty so they were in early . We never saw another boat coming out till almost 11. It seemed strange for such a nice day. We went in at 8am with the tide going out and the sun coming up . The water was 66 degrees so we figured the bite would be good. We troweled out the river without a fish hitting the lures we usually use. We fished out on the flats were we usually catch fish. We were moving a lot trying to get something to bite ,little taps but nothing going in the boat. Not a trout to be seen ,one lizard ,one puffer, not very good. Butch had a big hit but when he got it to the boat it was a good size turtle. A nice fight but not what we were looking for. We decided to head up the river to see if the bite was like a few weeks ago. The river didn’t disappoint us .we went up there about a month ago and found some spots. 19 to main st. A couple of weeks ago ,main st to Madison bridge. The river holds a lot of nice fish at different spots . We spent the rest of the day in about a 100 yard stretch catching really nice ladyfish around 50 and about the same for jacks. Baits were some plastic but most of the time 808’s . The picture ofthe two jacks getting caught on the same plug .one on the front hook and the other on the rear hook . We had no clue what it was until i got it too the boat. We called it a day at 2 ,our arms were getting tired , We can’t believe we never saw a fish on the flats and are wondering were the trout have gone?
