St. Marks River - Newport 10/2

Post by dave7 »

Buddy Chris and I launched at Newport around 2:30 and went upriver straight into a thunderstorm. Got drenched for about 15 minutes and then it cleared up. Fished only above the bridge and brought in 3 bass and two nice little bream. All caught on a floating rapala. Fished for a few hours before cruising around the river. :thumbup:

thanks fellas - If I could have one freshwater lure it would have to be a floating rapala. If you've got one of those on the line, as far as I'm concerned, you're already have way there. :thumbup:

It's not a sure thing - but it's a pretty good lure. Unless of course they want a sluggo worm or a beetle spin or a rebel pop-r or a .... :wink:
