Fishing In Hades

I got off early on Friday and decided to take advantage of the time off to do a little fishing.  It was crazy hot, in the low 90’s with high humidity, but the fish didn’t really seem to mind; I caught eight, and up until just before dark, consistently had bites all afternoon.  Unfortunately, most of the ones I caught were really small though.  I caught one decent bass that weighed a little over two pounds.  I apologize for the crappy pics, but all I had was my cell phone.

I got within ten feet of this bird (perched on top of the rock) before he flew away.  He must have been really tired, or that spot must have been a really good feeding area that he didn’t want to give up.

    Way to go, Rob! I saw you out there as I was crossing the bridge on my way home yesterday…and it looked like you had the river all to yourself :smile:

    Thanks Nomad. Yup, the only competition for fishing spots came from that bird in the above pic! LOL

    Great photos Rob. I guess the black/blue wacky senko was the bait of the day :-)
    I’d love to throw a jig into those reeds in that bird photo.

    Thanks Steve. I tried a couple of different colors but that one seemed to work the best. And if you like that kind of cover the river is loaded with it…caught a ton of fish in it in the early spring.
