3-4 this morning. Slow but pretty day.
2 small keeper Browns (15 & 17) nice 20" small mouth.
Caught first brown in the mouth of the Toxaway, the other in the back of Laurel Creek. Both hit free sliders. One on a black screwball the other a UV NBK on a gold blank. That spoon has been good on bright sunny days like today in the past as a free slider. Puts out a lot of flash.
Smallmouth hit a Warrior UV Flutter Brown Trout off the rigger at 35 in three rivers area.
Did break off a nice brown that hit the Spin Doctor rotator with a Mini Silver Streak Monkey Puke. Fish came out of the water and landed on the leader from the diver. Unless the hook comes out, that fish will eventually tire pulling that rotator and float on the surface tonight or in the morning. It might swim a way the first time or two you go to scoop it up but usually you can get them. Frequently see this on Lake Michigan when fish break off and have to lug around a flasher. We call them floaters and/or Bonus Fish. If you find the fish, I would appreciate getting my flasher/spoon back. You can keep the fish.
