Today was a typical gong show on the river.
Started the day off almost getting hit by a commerical boat drifting down the river. I was anchored in fairly fast moving water and a lady in a commerical boat drifted down without a net and almost took me out.
Casted out with the 18oz weight and it didnt hold, had to pull the anchor and move.
Tried to set the anchor three times and it didnt stick, much to the delight to the three boats around me.
After finally having the anchor stick, tossed out both rods with 12oz weight and had two bites, one around 5 and half feet stuck.
To make this a real long weekend gong show though, saw a a$$hole of a tug boat come within 5 feet of a fiberglass boat. The tug was towing almost a half kilometer of wood. Not sure why the tug had to come so close as he had almost a kilometer of river to navigate.... really scary when i noticed that the fiberglass bayliner wasnt aware of what was going around. Have some crazy video of the situation...
Surprisingly the dock was quiet, usually on a long weekend the dock is where is the real gong show happens, was suprised to find the gong show on the river today
