June 8th Update 09:20 I picked up my grandson and got some gas then headed for the river and the first trip in the boat for this year. We finally got the boat in the water around 10:15. I headed the boat down river stronger current than I had expected. I stopped the boat at a creek mouth to net Shad. I got 1 shad, on the next throw the net got hung up on a snag. I wound up having to cut lines and lost it. We marked fish just below the creek so that we finally got our lines in the water around 10:45. We cut up the fresh shad on 2 of the rods thawed bluegills and skipjack on the other 2 rods. We fished there for around 30 minutes NO bites. Motored back up river and spotted another load of fish, so fished there for some time.
That occurred the rest of the trip no bites at all, we did try at 6 different spots. The motor worked fine so that was good. I forgot how hard it is to pull a 15 pound anchor up out of 45 feet of water. The weather was just right temperature wise. We called it a day at around 1:45 and headed back to the ramp. I just keep hoping to get some action especially with my grandson so he has the thrill of catching some catfish.
