| Found this nice smallie in a rocky hole near the shore. This bronzeback wacked a #4 mepps in-line spinner about 5ft from the boat.. We caught at least 6-7 fish around this size in the rocky spots. |

| Cory's first Chunky fish caught on a jig with kicker trailer legs. |
Cory and I floated a new section of the French Broad from the airport down to Bent Creek. (we think around 5-6 miles section. ) It took us almost 10hr. putting in at 8am and pullin out around 6pm, fishing hard all day long. We didn't start picking up fish until a mile or so down when the river started to get rocky with ledges and runs with holes. We started picking them up with green/brown hair and reg. jigs with, pumpkin kicker trailers legs. The fish were feeding good and would pick up the jigs up quickly on the bounce and drop. WE both missed our biggest fish of the day (at
least solid 4-5 pound fish) that jumped out of the drink and thru our jigs back at us. I was fight my biggest fish in 3-4 feet of water standing next to the boat. It's just good to know you can trick em and see em jump and go crazy. Al in all we ended the day with 30+ fish in the boat all smallies and one rockbass.
