I went out and fished Chesdin on Saturday. I wanted to give the river one more day to calm down and I thought that maybe Chesdin would be heated up with fish. When I got to the marina the Fishers of Men tournament was just getting under way, the fog was bad so they pushed the start back about 30 minutes or so. Click here for their results. I fished from 7:00 or so till 12:30. Early I broke off a big fish on a Strike King Pure Poison. I only got one more bit the rest of the morning. I heard that the fish started getting really active late afternoon which is what I figured. It was colder than I thought on Friday night so they probably needed the day to get heated up.

I had a good evening last Wednesday fishing the Roanoke River for largemouth.  Clyde and I fished from 5pm to 8pm and caught 14 bass, the largest one being the one Budda posted the pic of last week.  I did not have a scale with me, but I am guessing 8.5lbs. or more.  I have a 7.75lbs. mounted and the fish I caught the other night was way bigger than that one.  We caught several more that were close to 5lbs. and the rest of the fish were 2 to 3 lbs.  The Rock fish are not to Weldon yet, but when the bass fishing is as good as it is in this river, I can wait on the Rocks!!

A cold front and wind made for a chilly afternoon of fishing yesterday.  However, Clyde and I managed to catch 15 bass, the largest one being a 6.5 lbs. I caught on a worm.  We had a scale this time and could weight the fish.  I am going to send a pic to Budda to post, and you will notice that this fish is quite a bit smaller than the one I caught last Wednesday.  All fish were caught on worms.  The Rock Fish are still not here and folks are getting concerned because there are only 18 days left in the season.  With the bass bite being as good as it is, I can wait and catch the Rocks up in the lake!!

Shelley and I fished Gaston yesterday afternoon. I didn’t catch anything but Shelley caught 2 nice keepers on spinner bait. Got pretty windy, so it was hard to skip docks.

Here goes, this is my first post to my blog. I have mulled over and over about a blog to my website and I think I am finally going to put it to use.
