I received an email from Charlie Bruggemann that I didn't figure I'd ever get. When an angler with his track record suffers a skunk, you know it's a bad day. As Charlie put it, "The bass got even with me today."
He decided to launch at Old Pungo Ferry Road today because he could see unstained water across the river in the oxbow yesterday when he stopped there. The water was rising fast today, though--about 4 inches while he was out. As a result, muddy water was pushed into those areas that were clear yesterday.
He was happy with the 44-degree water temp he found when he started and even happier when he found some 54-degree water at the back of some bays by 1400. However, when the day ended, he hadn't even had a tap. His only excitement today was when some jet skiers buzzed him in the oxbow.
"It takes all kinds," said Charlie. "Maybe next week will see things improve."
