Drop and reel Knuckleheads

Finally got a break and dropped the  Contender in today.

Headed out with Tracey and Eddie to jig some seabass.

Was drop and reel fishing with us catching well over a hundred sea bass .

We kept 16 nice knuckleheads over 14" throwing back everything smaller.

Colors on the bigger fish were stunning .

End of Shad 2018

Headed out with Tracey , and Eddie today for more than likely the last shad trip of the year.

Unreal amount of fish in the River above the gap.

Looked to be just miles of spawning fish , along with quite a few floaters .

Looked more like bunker lined up finning on top than the typical shad staying down near the bottom.

Was still able to catch some solid fish , boating just under 40 in a few hours of fishing.

But only half those fought as hard as normal.

Tracey and I also each had a catfish on a pink and white dart.

Eddie had the big fish of the day with about a 34" Stickerel ., which fought hard in the faster current we were fishing .
