August the 6th 2010 Steve and myself made a trip to our favorite river. The Haw. Last night it rained cats and dogs so I postponed our trip from am to pm so we could check out the gauges and other flows on other rivers as I thought the haw would be flooded. It was not. The haw went from a flow of 100 to about 500 and was a little muddy. Mud has never stopped me. Actually I like a little muddy water. We hit the water late in the afternoon and immediatly started catching fish. Almost all on spinnerbaits and most around wood structure and some around rocks. Bait(fry) were everywhere and they were jumping out of the water trying to get away from our baits as they thought the spinnerbait was a fish trying to eat them.
Here is the first fish
Here is Steves best fish of the day.
And here is a nice bass caught after dark.
This is the spinnerbait I was throwing. It is a 3/8 oz Stanley Wedge spinnerbait.
Today the water Temp in the river was 84 degrees and in one tributary we went up it was 80 degrees.
No doubt made cooler by last nights rain. We caugth a bunch of bass and could of mopped up on some bream and crappie that were chasing the small fry around but all we had was bass tackle. We saw lots of birds including blue herons, little green herons, kingfishers and 1 osprey.
