Fishing with Dave, John, and Jay....8/31/2024

This morning, I had the pleasure of fishing with Dave, and his friends, John and Jay. I had told Dave, yesterday, that the perch bite has not been kind to me...more like brutal, and that they could reschedule if they wanted to, but they insisted on going, and taking a chance on a better bite. After picking up some nice Emerald Shiners from "Jeanette's Bait", we launched out of Catawba at 6:30.
Well, to make a long story short....while we did twice as well as I did the day before, when I fished with Tom and Carrie...we were far from a limit for 4 people. But, they didn't seem to mind, and said they had a great time. And, I have to agree...John kept us giggling all morning. The rain stayed to the south, so we never got wet, and that makes me happy! :)
We started out by West Reef, but it was a Sheephead nursery, so we moved over to Niagara, and started catching. We missed so many bites, but when we did catch, they were nice perch.
With an hour and a half to go, and the bite slowed, so we moved on down to D Can and picked up 7 or 8 more keepers and had 5 throw backs.
I'm off tomorrow, and it looks like my Monday trip might have to be cancelled, due to a gusty north wind. I gave the crew the heads up, but they booked two days, so they said that if Monday is cancelled, they will just find something else to do to entertain themselves. East winds are forecast for Tuesday, but it looks fishable...rough, but fishable.
Stay tuned....
