<br /> Hit the Riverpart at 8 AM this morning with TW. We headed down to the secret hole and started chunking spinnerbaits. Man what a slow day. We fished out tails off and boated 16 small spots and a small smallie down river. Threw everything and finally hit a bank that produces small fish just to catch something. Almost no current, and no wind made for a very challenging day. The fish we did catch were all males except for a small female and were caught on tubes, spinnerbaits and cranks. Water temp was 57 degrees which is 4 degrees better than last week. <br /> We gave up down river and hit one of the deep holes up by the ramp to jig spoons. Marked a ton of fish but only boated 2 spots, 3 bluegill, a google eye and Tyler got the 32 lb &amp;quot;small mouth&amp;quot; in the pic. The carp was TW&#39;s larger fish ever and it was fun watching him fight the monster on light spinning tackle. After he boated the the thing it took a big dump in the back of my boat. Looked like something a dog would do. TW said his arm felt like he had been weedeating all day. <br /> Great weather day on the river and the sun felt good.
