Thread: A Good Day On The River.....

Me and my 8 year old son fished the river today and had a Ball!:D It would take all day to tell the whole story, But here are a few pictures. We caught over 20 bass ( Large mouth and small mouth ) 1 White Bass and some Brim. My son caught THe biggest fish of the day, It was over 5 Lbs.:D I broke off my 1 st fish and about one hour later and a hundred yards up river I caught it again and got my bait back, Thats a story all by it's self. Had a lot chaser but not a lot of takers, They would follow the bait all the way to the boat but would not take it. But all in all a GOOD DAY.:D

The bass that I caught twice with the first bait in it's mouth

The 5 Lbs bass that my son caught.

I know this ant crappie but I though y'all might like the pictures.:D

Great pics. Looks like your son had a great time. Glad for it. That one pic, where you got your bait back, that bass looks like some wierd power plant side effect. Kinda strange. :D

Those are great pics, Countryboy. Your son is one handsome fella. I believe in those memories...can't erase those!
Was that the Cape Fear...split going up toward Jordan?

I've taken my son down the Haw side of that and enjoyed catching a few. Looks like good weather later this week for it.

Awesome pics! I bet you guys had a blast! What river is that? I need to meet up with my buddy on the Eno and break out the fly rod

way to go countryboy......handsome young man and this is what it is all about...good job.

bass does look strange... where were you and what were you using?

Broad River, west of Shelby NC.:D I have grown up fishing this River, It is in my back yard. We love fishing the river, lot of fish in it. Catfish, bass, brim, some crappie, few white bass, and a few suckers. You never know what you might catch next.:D

Mainly flukes. Tried other baits but they didn't want them. Most of the bass were chasing shad, they were popping out of the water everywhere. That's the days I like, You can catch them on the top.:D

way to go countryboy brings back a lot of memories just wundering were you anywhere around the beagle club or anthony's?

EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY!
Its good to see that your little man had a good day. Like Anchorpuller stated you can't erase the good times~~
The pictures turned out well
Congraulations to the boy for his fine catches
Keep it up and he will be grateful..........
