I was hesitant to go out to fish after work because of the high water in the river. But with what I have learned the past few years is that the hole location may change but the fish are still there. S...

It was a good day on the river if you don't mind catching a TON of humpies. The fish I caught actually looked better but most of them didn't fight much. Reminded me of carp fishing. Probably caught...

The weather was extra freaky this afternoon and I thought the fish might dig it. Wow, was I right! Not sure how many humpies I caught but my arms are tired. They definitely prefer lures that are sh...

Quite a few pinks coming in, but not much worth smoking anymore. Big humps and dark colors. Still fun catching a few fish. Dick Nites still seem to be the most effective as the jigs don't seem to s...
