His biggest was the 1-12 pictured here. He also had a 1-2, 1-0 and a 14-ouncer. He only fished three baits: a worm, swimbait, and a Rage DB (as in Denny Brauer) craw. The latter, as Jim explained it, "is a bigger craw with split pinchers."
He went on to say that "the 1-12 and one other ate it." He also had a fish pick up the craw and swim about 6 feet or so, and when he set the hook, he felt nothing, and the hook point still was in the body.
The Gaston water temp today was 80, compared to 83 on Sunday. Said Jim, "I was rained on four or five times today, and showers chased me for cover twice." With a dry and warmer day predicted for tomorrow, he plans to head to the mouth of Pea Hill Creek and work his way back toward where he's staying.
In looking toward tomorrow, Jim concluded his note to me this way, "It sure would be nice to find some bigger fish."
