Mason Swan and Caitlyn Patterson joined me on the river for a couple of hours before a big storm moved in the area. We focused our efforts on catching as many fish as we could within the time we had. The bite was on and off for the two hours we fished. Most of the fish were good quality between 10-15 lbs. We had to call it quits within the first ten minutes at our first anchor spot due to thunder and lightning.
