Had a tough day on the river yesterday. Day kinda started out bad due to some unforseen issues when we got out late. But it was actually lucky that we got delayed. weather was real bad but I had convinced myself that it was all gonna go north of us. Had it not been raining when we got to the boat ramp I would have been stuck on the river in a monsoon. Anyways, we pulled up under the bridge at the boat ramp for the Yellow River on Hwy 87 and waited for about 6 hours for a break in the weather. We just kicked back and waited it out. Finally got on the water about 1pm. I thought the day was already shot but I HAD to fish. We fished from about 1pm to around 7pm and caught one nice flattie. We were using live and cut bluegill. The flathead was right at 9.5lbs and was 27 inches and hit a live bluegill that was placed right in front of a log on the edge of a hole in a little eddie. I have got to get some bigger sinkers cause those 2 and 3 ounce no rolls that I have just will not hold in that current. Old yellow sure is a swift ol river. Found some nice holes anyway thanks to an old timer that was nice enough to stop and give us younguns' some advice, and had a good time. Well give her another shot when the weather is a little nicer to us. Plannin on goin out next weekend too. Hopefully well get into a mess. Well, until next time, tight lines and good fishing.
