Good Luck on the Rapp

[Waynesboro]

Set out yesterday for the river on the last trip of the season, hoping to find that elusive large fish (at least for me). Lines in at 8:15 and 8 minutes later had a 26" in the box - off to a good start. Fished for another 3 hours, picking up 22", 23", and 24" fish - but back they went, as I was looking for something better.

11:42 am, and fish on - this one is definitely larger but will it be above the slot this time? Got the fish to the boat - but could only see mouth and tail. Got the grips on the fish, and up and over into the boat it went - 42" of fish. Weighed in at 35 lbs (unofficial) - so finally got that big fish of the season! The fleet was between 6 and 8, so I headed upriver from 8 about 2 miles and picked up this beauty - far away from the other boats.

Congratulations! Great way to end the year.

Yes, congrats. No luck here, but I was not willing to travel as far. Boat is too thirsty:)

We were at the mouth of the Rapp for a while, trolled amongst the seagulls down around Red 2 and 3R. Went out towards the cut but saw nothing so I didn't go all the way. Still a nice day though. Very calm.

Congrats on the big fish! We fished the same area today. Heard of some nice fish being caught, we put 3 24" in the box. Nice way to end the season, don't think I'll be out tomorrow. Happy New Year!
