Howdy, any thoughts on what the Chic river might be like this weekend with the colder temps? Sounds like Thursday is rainy, Friday is windy, and Saturday is calm but cooler. Not sure if the cooler weather is enough to snap them into a pattern of sluggishness or not..?

 

Thanks!

No idea.

 

Just check the tide charts to see what the tides will be doing.

 

Also, if possible, check the wind to make sure it is not blowing in from the east.

 

Let us know how you do.

 

Good luck.

I would be interested to what the water conditions are like. Hoping to head down that way next week sometime.

Well, Thursday of last week was pretty good for my friends with Pop-Rs although I didn't get out that day. We did go out Friday and the morning was slow, and the evening was dead. The water was so high that I think we could not locate any fish. Saturday morning after the tide went out a bit, things picked up. We tossed white spinnerbaits, worms, and senkos and caught some fish. Several of my friends lost good sized fish (fish spit the hook out). So things ended on a good note considering the weather we just had. 

 

Also,  the further we went up river, the more the water was stained. 

Received a call from a friend this afternoon after he got off the Chick and he told me the river is high and dirty.

 

Tough conditions.
