Great Miami River 8/29/11

What a great day. I dropped my son off at school at 8am and headed over to the river. it was a very cool morning and the sun was just burning off the clouds. I parked my truck, put on my gear, waders, boots, and vest. Rigged my line with a white curly tail and spinner....caught 3 very nice small mouth bass. 2 were very big. My buddy met me on the water and caught a couple as well, including a nice channel cat....just like i did last week....

Great Miami River

August 23rd, 2011

Went smallmouth fishing yesterday in downtown Dayton, Ohio. Chose to fish the area around Riverscape. This is where the Mad river Dumps into the Great Miami. This is a really pretty area, and makes for a great backdrop for some awesome urban fishing. This river is really full of fish and it really fished well. I was targeting smallmouth bass. and I caught a lot of them yesterday in just a few hours. But towards the end of the day I caught a channel cat, going 5lbs, on an old spinner bait I use for smallmout. The cat was in the current feeding and nailed my lure like a freight train. I guess he thought he was bigger and badder than he actually was. Because I brought him in on my 5ft. UL, with 4lb test Floro......awesome ending to a great day....now GO FISH and tight lines
