Caught the fish off a Cut just as the outgoing tide was ending. Then plugged away through the slack and incoming tides with no success. Not even a pick up.

Comments

Fished hard today. Only caught two small catfish.. Thats the way it goes some days. Better luck next time. Lots of boats on the river. The sunken barge/crane/junk back near the spray pits is on a slow fire. Smoke and heat are coming from it. I dont really get it, as there is nothing on there that could burn. My girlfriend thinks homeless people are living on it but she has a vivid imagination. I fished under it.Caught one fish. Tide was low. Tricky getting back in there. Polarized sun glasses helped alot. Bill
