St John's & Hwy #50

[Phantom309]

Hit the river (St John's & Hwy #50) at 7:15am, I was first to the launch, not another soul around.
Cruised up the river to a little lake I haven't been to in probably 20 years, yep, it's still there.
Fished a little here, a little there, did a little trolling, nada, no hits, no bites, nada.
Had tried to keep my minnows alive overnight, snatched the wife's air-rock out of her fish tank and
put in there, also poured a gal of water that she uses for her fish in with minnows, they were all dead
this morning. Also had my chicken livers and gizzards out for catfish, nada.
The air temp was 76 deg, the water temp was 78 deg, however it felt colder to the touch, then again,
could've been my yonky thermometer.
Was just pleased to be there, expecting to have a nice relaxing morning, then "IT" started.
Varoom in the distance! The unmistakable sound of the airboats hitting the river. All morning long, airboats
everywhere, in the distance, near and far, the sounds never ceasing.
Got a little dissappointing with all the sound, decided to head home.
The river is super high, probably three feet above where there would normally be land, could hear strikes (bass) all out in the weeds, I don't think any fish are starving around here.
Took a few pctures just for posteriety.



Here's a couple fellows I work with. We got rained out the other day at work and high tailed it over to the
catfish hole for a couple hours, didn't catch anything there either, however, the one boy did go there
a couple days earlier right at dark and filled up a 5-gal bucket within half an hour (cats), thus our anticipation to
return.


All in all, I got out, no major problems, gotta say that's a good day regardless.

Makes me want to make another trip to Lake George.
