I wanted to take another crack at the lake, this time in the morning. There was a bass tournament going on so I was a little worried about the lake being crowded, but it proved easy enough to fish the spots I wanted to. I started off hammering the pits with a crankbait, but couldn't get a bite. From there I moved up the New River along the bank across from the east shore, closest to the marina. I got a couple of bites, but no takers on a crayfish in-line spinner. I was about to pop smoke on this spot when a channel cat slammed my lure. He was nothing to write home about (being only 15 inches or so) but it was still a pretty cool catch adding to the diversity of species and sub species that I have caught this weekend. I proceeded up the New River a ways for a couple of hours missing two or three bass and seeing a bald eagle doing some fishing of its own before reversing coarse and retreating far up the Bluestone River in pursuit of pan fish again. I banged out couple dozen as I had done a couple of days before, this time on Gulp Alive maggot imitations. It has been a pretty extraordinary weekend where I caught around 70 fish. Some of which were nice size. I caught at least 9 different species over the weekend which included musky, red eye, smallmouth, trout, crappie, bluegill, green sunfish, pumpkinseed, and catfish. All and all an awesome weekend!
