Nice fish Merle. If you don't mind me asking, where abouts was that at? Now before you go thinking I'm just another troller "fishing" for other people's hot spots. I come offering a hot spot trade, if you will. My go-to, never fails, my buddy wants to catch a big fish so I take him here, hot spot is as follows. (It's not a well guarded secret and I don't really care who utilizes this information. That's why I'm posting it in the thread.)
Launch at Cathedral Park (free parking), head upstream for about half a mile, you'll pass under St. John's and a train bridge, about 200 yards past the train bridge there will be some rusty orange pilings on the north side of the river, drop anchor parallel with those pilings about 50 yards out and you'll be in about 50 feet of water and on a shelf. There are literally oodles of dinos there.
You'd be hard pressed to not catch at least 5 or 6 just like the one in your pic. The last time I went there, my buddy landed 13 and I landed 8.
Happy fishing,
Kyle
