Two hours from shore at Fletcher's today with only two fish to show for the effort.
One was a very good sized American Shad, the other a 10 inch Hickory or Herring.
The Carp were spawning rather actively, looked like bombs going off in the shallows.
Water condition were: stained with about 1 foot of visibility. The river was at 4.25 feet at the USGS gauge.
The tide was running in strongly, the river level came up nearly 3 feet where I was standing during the time I was on the water. To the point where the ledge of rocks threatened to become an "island" due to the rising water.
The pollen was brutal, leaving a scummy foam on the surface of the river, and my lungs as well. Real bad allergy season!
