This was my first time fishing the river other than right below the dam and I only covered a mile or two so I had no idea what to expect.

This was my 4th time out on a boat; the first two times, we fished Lick Creek and Bumpus Mills with a little time spent fishing the main river under the bridge by Dover where I was able to catch a few white bass on a rattle trap. The last two times we fished only the main river and I'm having a hard time trying to figure it out. Yesterday morning, right after first light, we saw a few big fish coming up to the surface and splashing but have no idea what they were. Every time I saw one near the boat, I threw a crankbait or rattle trap but no takers.
