    You can watch the Hibdon kid catching retreads live on the camera at the Hope Springs marina camera.

    I watched a little of the coverage. I saw quite a few people catch fish in the shade of a boat in other marinas. I guess when you're fishing for $100k, anywhere a bass is hiding becomes a target to throw at. I'm still amazed at how many bass live in that river. With all of the tournaments that hit the same areas every week, you can still go in those areas and catch them the next day. The commentators were also saying there are not many 5-7lb bass in the river anymore. They didn't just disappear. They are like a mature buck. They know where to live and are just hard to find. I'd love to have time to spend out there to find them.

    There are a few larger fish around. Us retired guys fishing M-Thur get a little more unmolested time to fish for them I haven't been on the river Fri-Sun since April 2014.

    I mostly leave those brim alone after June and I head way down river into the saltwater for reds, specs, flounder, and topwater rock fish.

    Topwater rockfish. That would be a blast. Good eating size you caught there.

    It's 11 miles across down there. Bass guys are fishing less than 10% of the river.
