The boys and me were on the river early this morning armed with cut shad and nightcrawlers. We launched on the White in Worthington and went a mile or so up river. Booey came close to getting knocked out by a 20 pound flying carp on the ride up. 
Scared the crap out of me when it slammed into the outboard. A boat passed us on the way up and it was fishermandan and his brother Chad but I don't think they recognized the new boat. 
The rivers rising and I thought the fish would be biting, but that wasn't the case. We had 1 run on a shad head and that was it. We had a friendly visit from a CO too.
On the way back I turned up the Eel River and we fished a deep hole, but it was snag city and we decided to call it a day. Water temp on the White was 77 and the Eel was 67.

The funny thing is that I hardly marked a fish all morning until we were about 15 yards from the ramp. There was about a 13 foot deep hole that had some big fish in it. The trolling motor wasn't strong enough to get us back to it though. 
Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
