djbogle, Nick Tailwaters, Striper, Hybrid, Whites, Drum, 4/2, solo - FishNews - 04-03-2009
After two days in the turkey woods without hearing even ONE gobble, I was sipping my coffee at 4 AM this morning and said to myself, &quot;Self, turkey hunting be damned, I&#39;m going fishing&quot;. As it happens, it was one of my better choices in quite some time.<br /><br />Put in below Nick at 6:45, and after I discovered that my cranking battery was too low to charge the swirls repeatedly, I opted to tie to the wing wall. Started out with a good whitey, and shortly after I hooked a submarine. It was a 8-7 Hybrid. About 15 minutes later and it was on again, except it was a 10-8 Striper. Now, being a grocery fisherman, both of these went into the livewell, so I had to release two more Hybrid, a 12-9 and a 8-5. Had another fish break off, and, of course, it felt like a monster. I also brought in 3 drum, one a 22 lb. Another angler gave me 11 more whiteys, so I finished off the limit and they also won a boat ride. Caught everything on a bucktail with a 4&quot; glow-shad. I watched a couple of guys fishing live minnows and they hung into several fish, as well.<br /><br />Turned out to be a pretty good day for groceries. emoHungry
