New river, West Virginia 5/27

[BottomBouncer13]

So i finally got a break from work and am on vacation for the next week down in West Virginia for some relaxation and more importantly fishing! Being my first day down here I didn't have too much time to fish but I found an hour or so to wet a line. Grabed the ultra light and my two go to river smallie lures,1/8 ounce jig head with 3 inch grub, and 4 inch senko and walked down to the river. First cast snag, second cast WAM! From that point on it was a bite, fish or snag for the entire hour. Caught them 50-50 on both lures. 6 smallies landed, a few jumped and lost, and one toad rock bass. Nothing big at all but I'm sure they will get bigger. Tons of fun, can't wait for tomorrow.

Nice job! I love exploring and fishing new places. Catching something while there is just an added bonus........

New River Gorge is an amazing place. Have always desired to fish that river.
