WT 81
downlines,2 oz eggs, mixed ales set at 35-40 ft deep
Decided to sleep in this morning after a late night and a slow late morning bite the day before.
Woke up at 8:20 , grabbed a cup of coffee, woke up my son and headed down to the dock. My son wanted to head up black water towards gills but I told him I wanted to check one spot first on lower roanoke side that I had fished in the past about this time of the year with good results. We dropped down off plane and within a couple of minutes we were on a nice school!
My son grabs a rod and hands it to me to bait up , I drop it down 40 ft and put it in the rod holder,he hands me another rod the whole time yelling"hurry up dad"! Before I could get the second rod baited he was on the first one with drag screaming trying to get it out of the rod holder.
I get the second rod baited and down ,grab the net to get his fish and while I am netting it the second rod goes down. He jumps on it and gets that fish in. He snaps a pic of me with his 2 fish and then we get all the rods baited up and start looking for the school again .
Never found the big school again but did manage 3 more fish before my wife calls around 11:30 and says breakfast is getting ready to hit the table.
It was a great morning to sleep in and still get on some fish with my son, lol! Ready for the traffic to slow down and the fishing to get better!
