Charlie made it to the water today with his kayak, but like most other anglers I've been hearing from in the last few days, he had less than a stellar outing. He went to Oakum Creek, where the water was too low for him to launch at the dock. Instead, he had to put in from the bank--a very muddy bank, at that. Said Charlie, "I sank to my ankles but made it OK."
He had to paddle about a hundred yards before finding fairly clear water. His tally for the day was an estimated 6 pickerel (he hadn't had time to check his video yet when he sent me an email) and a lone bass--about 12 inches long--that he caught on a crankbait. He also tried a Senko but didn't find any takers.
"The sun never came out as predicted," Charlie lamented, "so the water remained in the 48-to-50-degree range." He's hoping for better conditions when he tries it again Thursday or Friday.
It likely will be sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening before Charlie will have the video of his day posted. Check it out at http://vbfishguide.blogspot.com/.
