Up at Dawn

Austin and I got up before the Sun to beat the crowds and get the best bite on a Memorial day weekend.  The air was a little cool for this time of year; in the upper forties, but it warmed up quite a bit throughout the day and the water temperature was near normal so the bite was good.  We caught 46 fish between the two of us and were off the river as most people were just getting started.  The high point of the trip was a near 25 inch musky I caught throwing a white G-Tail on the upper Greenbrier side of the of our Bellpoint to Southside float.  It's the first musky I'd caught in a couple years.  Unfortunately we dropped it back in the river before we could get a picture but it was still a blast to catch and a real boost to the ego.
