Great to meet you as well, chubs. The boat stayed clean, actually. We had a set of hip waders so I just really slowly pulled up to the ramp and my buddy hopped in. Not a drop of mud!
We fished the confluence, the dam, and the cove past the marina (not IN the cove, but the break on the outside of it). We ended up landing 10 eyes, all of them near the confluence. Nothing anywhere else. Unfortunately, our biggest was about 16 inches. We did also have quite a few bite offs and misses.
All in all it was great to get the boat wet. I’m heading back out in early April, hoping to find one of those big pigs I know are in there.
