Went to the chick at rock a hock this morning and got skunked! My son and I loaded up and headed to the james to the warmer water, well got skunked there too! Well havent fished either river in 8 years maybe I just knocked some dust off! Jr sure wasnt too happy though!
I got skunked in Morris Creek also. The surface water temperature was 36 degrees when I started and 39 when I left. It was also a fast moving (1.2 mph on GPS) out going tide. I think the combination of cold water and the wrong tide were enough to keep the fish from biting. Nobody was catching any fish.
I did accomplish my mission. The new bow mount trolling motor works great. In combination with the stern trolling motor, I have fantastic control over the boat when drifting or strolling.
A few more days of this nice weather should get them going.
We Also Got Skunked At Kerr.we Did Manged To Found Some Water Temps In The 40`s And The Fish Were On The Brush But Had Lock Jaw.
Wow guys
I was hesitant to say how my day went till I read everyones replies. I went to Northwest River in Chesapeake. I got there late because I had insomnia and the bait shops around there weren't open so I went with jigs and lures. I tossed one that I had to retrieve so I went to shore to get and my prop on trolling motor caught on a branch and spun the nut off. I have a 10ft Jon boat and that is what propels it besides oars. I didn't lose the prop but I paddled around in the wind for about 3 hours. lol I got skunked but did see fish on the fishfinder. I went to their depth but couldn't entice them with anyhting I had. Water temp started at 37 and ended at 41-42. The river was about 3ft down and some of the feeder creeks were making the water cloudy and muddy. At least I didn't lose any equipment or lures.
Not a total skunk for me this time, but very tough findings at Jones pond, (cheatum annex)
