It was a beautiful day on the river. Blue bird skies, high water, and just a little chop. We were able to find a ton of cats up the creeks about as far up as we could get the boat. We were catching them almost exclusively on stink/dip bait with some coming on worms as well. Cut bait was not it, so switched over to the dip bait and got bit immediately. Great day on the water and even better fish fry. (Hot bait does not apply - did not have the dip bait we used)

I saw some fish busting on bugs on the surface. Honestly thought they were just carp as they’re getting ready to or are already spawning in the shallows. Decided to just make a couple bombs casts over the TALL cattails, because why not? To my surprise, a nice 3lber decided to blow up on my frog. Ended the night with a limit likely near 12lb. Awesome evening trip from shore!

I found some fat smallmouth that seemed like they were getting ready to spawn on the hard rock. The water was still pretty cold in the current being in the mid 50s, but that didn’t affect their willingness to eat. The ned rig came through and overall a great day on the river!
