wife and kids out at girl scout camp gave me a couple hours to go pick a fight with some fish. so I went up to DC. charleston day use are in the tube. got in the water about 11am nice calm sunny weather (weird [crazy]) no W just nice weather. started kickin towards the river inlet along weed edges. right off the bat caught a couple smallies nothing big but fun, they still swim. then I found a school of perch, lost count of how many hits I had, caught 6 let one go to grow. have 5 "unzipped" waiting for a good xcuse to fry them up.
left about 1:30 had to work. never made it, radiator blew cracked housing and decided to over heat my truck. bummer. replaced radiator sunday morning. not too bad after you figure out the stupid quick clips on the oil/trans cooler lines.
any way, good few hours of catching and playing. I wondered about it with the full sunshine and heat that day... turns out didnt matter.
I was using a green lil hustler jig, 1/8th oz i think, small anyway with the yellowish tentacles on the end and a pinch of crawler to, as TD would say, sweeten the deal.
good luck all. I am trying to make a longer visit up there this coming Sunday the 4th of sept if anyone wants to hook up, shoot me a PM, I hail out of SLC.
