Spend the day with a good friend chasing striper on the lower Etowah. Had live shad and also had some chicken liver for running a trot line. We never got around to setting the trot line because we didn't want to take time away from regular fishing. The fishing was really slow only two good hits in the shad with no commitment, my guess is a turtle. Caught one channel cat on liver, and invited him home for dinner. The water became more stained as we moved north toward the pumpkinvine creek. My little 14' Jon boat with a mud motor powered up the river great with us two, climbing the fishing wiers without problem. There was this one issue though! We knocked a hole in the boat I saw us taking water and thought uh oh. I assessed the problem stuffed a curly tail grub in the hole which stopped the leak and kept fishing for another 6 hours. The weather was beautiful, the water was awesome, and the comraderie was second to none. What an amazing day on the water.
Maybe tomorrow they will bite a bit more.
