upper Chowen River

[gdn443]

Had a chance last week when it got down to the lower 80's and lower humidity to head for the Chowen River. Great day to be out and I did pickup a small bass and two Bowfin.   Not what I had in mind but they do battle it out. Hits were on Black Creature bait, Texas style. I need to pickup some black and blue spinnerbaits as the white don't work here in the stained water. Still learning these southern waters. Hope to get back beginning of Sept. When this heat lets up.

I hear you on the heat, it's been bruital here as well. We are finally getting some relief from 100 degree heat but now the humidity is kicking in. At least no shunk was involved in the trip, was there any size to the Bowfin?

Bow fin I seem to catch are all bigger than my bass. About 20" average. I may try to head out again tomorrow before the humidity rolls back in. Hopefully in a couple of weeks this stuff will be over. I did try one day 10 days ago and had my best day in the swamps in over a year. 9 bass and a bowfin. I did try a different area. I'll hopefully try Tuesday
