Been hitting the river lately and only with lures, was able to land a few small pike. Nothing crazy, and definitely no frenzies but stayed busy at least. Also had brought some bags with me so while baiting and waiting for some cold carp to show up, was able to clear about the whole stretch I fish on the west side of the river. Even got 2 tires outta there! Felt good afterwards & will definitely feel good beating the banks with them being cleaner! Found a few lures/weights/bobbers/hooks and another reel as well. So I was thinking, if I show in a post some of the stuff you find while doing a clean-up, maybe we'll see more of these threads or some cleaner spots upon arrival. So besides the pic itself, I've given away soo many lures I've found from the river to a few friends, a few kids, and also a stranger or two that happened to be in need. Have and have given away numerous poles & reels to all the same reason. Nets, minnow traps, terminal tackle, I mean EVERYTHING FISHING! Plus more, some that I can't share publicly. So just to prove a point, it definitely not only feels good to see the aftermath, but you will literally be paid back by your waterways! The river giveth and the river taketh away.
