Smallies

[T-bone1]

Went back to the new river and tried a different part that I have not been on. The water was a little deeper and slower so it did give us more time to fish. It was a 4 1/2 mil. trip and not to bad of a trip. The water was a little stain not as clear as you would like it. The temp was warm enough to swim. I hooked about 8 , same as last time and I missed 3 or 4. 2 which did feel of good size. Its not saltwater but I just want to show I am fishing until I make it back down. []

Tarpon4me , if you are serious about a N.C. trip we can make some kind of arrangements.

Hey T-Bone, I am definately serious about a trip. I'd like to bring my son up there for some bass'in action, or trout, or what ever is biting. It'll be later on towards the end of summer or fall before I can do it, but i'm definately serious about it. What did you have in mind?

[url "http://www.canoeingthenew.com/"]www.canoeingthenew.com[/url] This is something you may fine of some intrest. Here is where I go. If you would like to camp it seems to be a great place too. Its right on the bank of the river and all shaded. For the kids it has a small playground but yours may be more into fishing. You can set at your campsite and fish. If I see it right there are cabins also. You can check things out on this web site.

I took a trip on the new river about 15 years ago up in WV. I think I caught more smallies in two days than I have the rest of my life on that trip. That river is an awesome fishery.

I'v been to W.V. part of the river but it was not to fish it was to see people jump off a brige. The water below was a class 5 or better. I have hard there was some great fishing for smallies the more north of where I go and are larger in size. Any way the ones I have hooked are fun. I went yesterday(Sunday 24th) and just wated out from the bank and hooked 5 in about 45min. They were not of keeping size but man they fight on light tackle.

That's what i'm talking about, some light tackle action. I've got ultra light spinning tackle with 10lb super braid on it. I bet that would be a blast with those little guys. Oh, and by the way, I would have jumped in on this one sooner, but i've been off the boards for a while due to some personal issues. But, i'm hoping to have all that taken care of here in the next week or so. Bare with me guys. []
