Page 2 Day two saw all of us back in the river section. The conditions have changed to overcast with a cool breeze. We both managed to get a quick limit on spinnerbait and horny toad. Kobus changed to a swim jig with a swimsenko as trailer and really starting putting fish in the boat. At around 9:30 the fishing switched off, due to all the pressure, Kobus changed to a 5” Swim Senko in watermelon Gold rigged with a 1/16oz tungsten weight, which he swam back to the boat. He was the only one catching fish at this time. I followed and soon was boating fish again. Hot spots: We found 2 very small areas in the river that was loaded with fish. We would get 3-5 fish on every passing. These two areas had one thing in common they were both sitting on channel bends with scattered weed on the edge of the channel. Best techniques: All our fish was taken on the following reaction lures, Black Horny Toad, War Eagle Flash Spinnerbaits, White Strike King Swim Jig and 5” Watermelon Gold Yamamoto Swimsenko.
