September River Bass

Mack in N.C.

Nat's Dad called me Wednesday and wanted to hit a spot we hadn't been to since last year. I was up for it as I have fished above it and below it this year but hadnt had time to go here.

Friday afternoon was the day. We launched at a ramp and motored 5 miles up river with a 55 lb thrust electric motor. The first 3 miles are a millpond and the last 2 miles is river full of rock so that is why we choose the electric here instead of a gas motor. The trip up takes a good large battery because of current and the trip back takes about 1/2 of a normal size battery.

ND was mainly throwing a Spro swimbait and his avg size bass was a tad heavier than mine. I threw a pearl fluke and a buzzer and got 0 fish. Put on my trusty sebile swimbait and got a few decent fish but nothing to brag about. Finally decided on a Cordell spot and a white spinnerbait and my avg size picked up along with a 5 lb ~ fish to top my day off. We didn't catch huge numbers but both of up probably had 15 bass each along with all the Redbreast we wanted, 1 crappie, and the only white perch i have caugth this far upstream.

Wildlife seen was lots of Geese, Woodducks, Great Blue Herons, Little green Herons, White Egrets , lots of Osprey's, and 2 big Bald Eagles which we got to see one snag a fish out of the river. I will post some of Steves Better bass 2 ~4 lbers that are on video. A good day on the water.
