![]() Havent been out as much and when I have been it's been at North Branch.
So hitting the main stem and nailing some larger bass has been satisfying. I normally take good pics, but here's three bad pics of the same fish to make up for it. Learning how to get good shots with a camera timer. Landed her right between the weed section and a deep run. She had some smaller buddies around, along with a big cousin Larry; unfortunately didn't hook him. Originally sighted these fish, they got close to me and got disinterested with my marabou jig plopping infront of them. I then lose sight of them, they probably schooled elsewhere. I then retreated behind the weeds near the shore and casted a few times in the general area. Felt like any normal fish at first. When I saw it coming up I said "that's the fish!" ![]() ![]() ![]() The rest of the day was a bit lame but managed some ok bass and BIG redbreast. Bonus pics. ![]() ![]() The big girl was caught at 10:50am on a 1/16 oz black marabou jig. However not in a shaded area like most of the time. Maybe the weeds gave enough shade/shelter? |

![]() Im also going to report that I saw some spawning beds in the river. While I used to see plenty of sunfish beds earlier in the season, these beds were deeper into the stony river bed.
Im wondering what these could have been. Odd since I cant think of any fish that spawn this late, other than carp since I hear they have awkward spawning times. The beds were cleaned and not covered in the typical "river dust" that settles overtime |

I'm not sure if there's that many sea runs or sturgeons. I stuck my hand into the Redds and inspected the rocks; nothing eggy. Odd. |

![]() Nice fish buddy! Way to stick it out on the main stem! There's some rather large Smallies cruising around this time of year. Be prepared if you hook one!
