Another rod had two crappie magnets casting for skippies.
Another rod had an A-rig.
Another rod had a 3/4 oz jighead and white fluke.
After all was said and done, I caught 2 bluegills, one yellow bass and one 3 lb drum. All of the fishy baits were still alive and kicking when I took them off the hooks.
Main river temp was 49-50 degrees, discharge channel was 57 when I got there at 11AM and 60.5 when I left at 5:30.
River was rolling very well with lot of semi-submerged debris and heavily stained, darned near muddy.

i am impressed. If I tried to put out that many rods…
The small threadfin line would get wrapped around the medium gizzard line.
In trying to untangle the medium gizzard and small thread fin lines they would get tangled up with the 12" skippie line.
In trying to untangle the medium gizzard, small thread fin, and 12" skippie lines they would all get tangled up with the nightcrawler line.
In trying to untangle the medium gizzard, small thread fin, 12" skippie, and nightcrawler lines, I would have my head down, the boat would spin around, and all the above lines would get snagged up and wrapped up in the trolling motor propeller.
While i am on my knees leaning out over the water trying to untangle the trolling motor I would lay down the crappie magnet rod I was casting for skip pies and it would get snagged on the bottom and have to break it off.
While i was yanking on the crappie magnet rod I would inadvertently trip the release on the A rig reel and it would drop to the bottom and get snagged too. Not wanting to lose my expensive lure I would drop my trolling motor back in the water, forgetting all the lines wrapped around it, and then have to pull it back up and cut all the lines, While that was happening the boat would have drifted away and I would hear a splash, turning around just in time to see my A rig setup slip right out of the boat.
So then i would use the jig head and fluke rod to try and snag the A rig rod and pull it up, only to have it get snagged too.and have to break off the line.
After all that I just head back to the ramp, stopping at the dock to talk to the guy and his daughter, and politely admire the 20lb striper she just caught right out in front of the ramp on her pink barbie rod.
The I would load up and head back to the tackle store to resupply...
