Default Re: Labor Day Skunk on the D

I was fishing the river at the Route 80 bridge out of my kayak on Labor Day in the late afternoon-evening.

The rains kept the number of picnickers low and I only saw one boat with a motor the entire afternoon. The only other people on the river were dozens and dozens of those people using the canoe-rental services that pick the people up at the beach by the visitors center.

I caught about a dozen Smallmouth Bass, but they were all small. I don't think I caught a single bass over 10 inches all day.

I don't think I saw any shad fry, although the weedy shallows did have a lot of tiny minnows swimming around.
