Well I decided since I was off today to wet a line with my Grandpa. We put in at Sullivan's around 8 due to a motorcycle wreck on the freeway. Water temp started out at 63 this morning. We caught two or three shorts fairly quickly. I got my hopes up for a good day of catching fish thinking surely today would be a perfect day. Man was I wrong. We ground it out until about 3 this afternoon with only 5 fish all day. We tried shakeys, lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, texas rigged worms and dropshots. They sure didnt seem to like what we were throwing. We started out in 8-14 ft of water. We fished the mud to 25ft deep with no luck. By 3 the water temperature was up to 70 and with partly cloudy skies and a slight wind I would have bet money we could have found them. I'm starting to think I am gonna need to take a break from the river and try some lake fishing . All in all a good day when you can use a paid holiday to fish because whats better than getting paid to fish. Good luck to all!
