River Update

Our employee Tim fished the river today, Sunday, with his brother. They fished above Harrisburg and had a great day. They landed 15 smallmouth bass, 13 of them were over 17 inches. The biggest smallmouth was caught by Tim, in the picture above, and measured 19 1/2 inches and extremely fat. 2 fish were caught on tubes, the rest came on HawgHead spinnerbaits. Tim caught all 9 of his bass on the color Gray Shad in 3/8 oz.

Most of the fish Tim caught were along some type of wood, either a log jam or a laydown tree, on the sides or below islands. A couple of smallmouth were caught from current seams below islands. His brother landed some of his bass on a new color of HawgHead spinnerbait called Baby Bass.

Visbility on the river ranged from several feet on the West shore to just a few inches in the middle and East shore. The majority of the fish were caught from islands in the middle of the river. Water temperature ranged from 52 degrees in the morning to 56 degrees in the early afternoon.
