The fishing is still tooouuugghhhhh!! JCFlats and myself eased out the river and by some strange force was pulled to the left. We started in 4-6 ft and JC caught a short trout pretty quick. After that is got pretty slow with only about 3 hookups and another short for the next couple hours. We moved several times and fished both topwater and thunders in 3-10 ft of water but the bite was real slow. Floating grass made it difficult for topwater. JC hooked a couple real nice trout but they did'nt make it to the boat. He hooked 1 big shark that broke off and I hooked up on another large fish that we never saw. After moving several times JC finally found a 20" er and I managed a 15"er. We stopped out from the mouth of the river near some deeper water and managed to catch 6-7 shorts and we called it a day. It was a great day on the water regardless of the bite. Water temp was 81 degress at noon. It was windy early but became very nice around noon.
