FISHING: Excellent
September 29th: The River is down to 999 cubic feet per second. River temp is at 45 degrees (ouch that’s cold for swinging, but still worth a shot) and the fish count as of September 20 is 6,733. From last Wednesday to this Wednesday the fishing for the Trophy Waters Guide Staff has been very solid. Reports from fisherman on foot have been good too.

The weather is very pleasant and the fishing is good especially in the lower system. Ghost Hole, Bay and Oyster House all have been producing. The rivers are 3.5 ft and you can still wrestle a bright one. Herring, spinners and kwikfish will work best for the lower system. For tidewater and rivers make sure you have good eggs and shrimp.
