Well I went to the river today and it wasn't very good at all. I manage 4 fish. Man it looked good first thing. Light wind and I was throwing the topwater at them. Nothing hit. I fished the area before Dan's Bay and inside Dan's bay. I finally decided to run p North of White Oak. I fished around some small islands which were surrounded by deep water. I noticed lots of bait swimming around. I caught a nice 2.5 lber on a blk.blu jig in a tree top in 8 feet of water. I decided to throw a carolina rigged fluke and caught three fish in 14 feet of water in the same area. Left at noon scratching my head. I did see ALOT of big gar in this area busting bait. I spoke with the park manager and a Game Warden at the launch and they both stated fishing has been tough. Warden said I had more fish than people had bites. I just don't know what is wrong right now!! Water clarity was 2 feet in main river and crystal clear in Dan's Bay. If anyone has the answer I sure would like to hear it!!!
