We’ve camped on a couple different anglers in seemingly the same area. And they all appear to be doing something different.
One is casting and jerking, another is drifting and one has his Ultrex nailed to a spot and casting to a target.
All of them are catching fish. That’s the thing about the St. Lawrence River that you love: So many things will work well here and they all seem to produce hefty brown fish.
One of our targets is Marty “The Party” Robinson and at the minute he’s the life of this party of anglers. He has five in the boat for about 16 pounds. At least that’s what we gather from what we’ve seen and BASSTrakk.
I’m not so sure they aren’t a little heavier than that. But it doesn’t matter at this point.
What does matter is it’s early and the bite is good, with expectations of it staying the same for some time. That means a spectacular weigh in this afternoon.
