Went rrolling in the upper Coralville Res Friday night. Had a couple of 10 year olds doing all the fish catching. They caught 7 nice ones averaging 4 lbs (3-6 lbs for all of them). One of the boys had to go home and the other kid and I caught five more from 9 to midnight or so.
Interesting note...I was getting a few more shad at dusk and I went up under the 965 bridge. The shad were schooled up under the bridge and lit up my graph like I hadn't seen since March. We decided to troll up under that bridge and had a double headher catching two nice ones. Those two fish caused a heck of a snarl up of all 4 lines. Had to drop the anchor and get out the knife to fix that mess. After that, we fished with just 2 poles cause I couldn't stand the aggravation. We went under the bridge again and caught 2 more. We trolled all the way up past the 380 bridges out past the old trestle. Caught one more nice one and called it a night. My fishing partner fell asleep in the bottom of the boat as we putted back to the ramp.
