<br /> emoDance I had the great pleasure to spend most of the day on the River with my Grandson. Not only that, but we stuck a bunch of fish, too. Hooked up with 58 put over half of them in the boat. The largest was a 4 lb largemouth. We caught a few off the bridge pilings downtown on Beavers and Beast, but most came off the rip-rap on the I-24 side of the Bend using crankbaits. The fish were right up against the bank. Must have been trying to get a tan! I know Sean and I both were cooked pretty good when we came off the River about 6:30. We started a little after 10 AM. The 4 pounder was fish #48 caught at 3:20 in the afternoon. I guess it&#39;s the old &amp;quot;blind hog&amp;quot; finding an acorn trick. Water temp was 83.7 degrees.<br />
