5.76 on the Doc Scale today. The hole will be accessible today. Of course everyone will be there too. High fishing pressure today I'm sure. I don't think I'll get out till maybe Sunday night or early next week.
Don't worry fisherboy...you may only get 2 on your stringer, but you're #1 in our hearts!

Will be there for sure Sunday. At least on the island if not able to cross chute. Finally caught 2 I could keep at SP plus 2 returned. Needed dbldip to help me wade out 50 yards from shore where they were hammering the fish. Well maybe not 50 yards but too far for this old goat. & still no wet arm.
Kinda got a wet arm today (but it did not count) on a fish I grabbed -too lazy to reach for net.
Morning of 19th did not wander to hole, stopped 2/3 of way to fish current. Started out slower then hell for me over 1 hour & zero fish. It appeared everyone but me had a couple fish. In fact 1 guy had his by 7:20 (1 oz weight to my 1/2 oz). Snaged my 1st WB of the year & also a WE. Thinking of trying my old rod rather then the new one.
Finally moved a few feet to get away from the chatter of a bunch of orientals. Also started casting more upstream & shorter distance. Made a hell of a difference. Caught the legal limit of 4. Stayed about 15 minutes longer playing when I got another. Not caring too much if I landed it or not I skipped my net. Exchanged it for a smaller 1 on the stinger. When I start culling fish I know its time to leave. Left at 9:45.
BTW my bucket almost floated away. The water came up at least a foot (from the east wind I assume). On a 1 to 10 I would give it a 6 (only because I wasted over an hour.) All nice jacks,
WENT TO THE HOLE THIS AFTERNOON AND WORKED TO GET 3 NICE JACKS HOME. CAUGHT SOME WHITE BASS AND VERY SMALL WALLEYE. ALWAYS GOOD TO BE ON THE RIVER. MISSED YOU DOC. NO ONE AT THE HOLE TONIGHT.
Good to hear you finally got some fish fisherboy, if you want a wet arm I'll push you in next time I see you down there. Hey Corky, maybe fishin with the Doc is bad luck for you! Too intimidating..
Unly 18 days until vacation time.
