I am a little late getting here - Took wife, 2 kids, mom and dad and dog. Left High Pt at 6:30am - water temp was 77 to 80 and it was stained everywhere. Went to 719 bridge and threw top water - pop-r's at rip rap working way back to the splits on the northern shore. Dad caught a nice 3 lber and we both lost nice fish. we caught a bunch of dinks. Mom caught a 2lb on a stupid stick off a dock. By this time sun was high so we tried to find some stripers. But I couldn't locate a school of decent fish we caught 5 or 6 small ones. Later I talked to Hembly and he said they were scattered because of the weather Thrs and Fri. I am not good enough (yet) to put people on them when that is the case. We caught some nice cats. I bought my son some DT6's because he read gmans report on here and he caught a 3 lb cat on one and a nice crappie on one but no bass. After the failed striper experiment we visited the crappie holes and put 19 nice slabs in cooler which we had with home fries for Father's Day breakfast. All in all we had a great day. I have no pics cuz they are on the video - I hate that thing. I forgot the digital. Next Sat I will be all over the topwater bite. It will be just me and my wife for the next month.
Today I caught 2 smallmouth and 1 largemouth out of the South River before the thunderstorm rolled through.
Tigth lines - Bill
