A tough day on the Arm; the water was very muddy and visibility was about 6 inches. This meant when we were jigging, we could only lift our jigs about 6 inches off of the bottom to get a bite. The river up to Porky was OK but anything higher meant chocolate milk. A black jig head with a root beer colored grub worked the best for me; my buddy Jay was having good luck with a red head and a motor oil/red flake grub. Our total for the day was 22 eyes and 10 smallies. Did you ever have one of those first casts that makes you go hmm. My first cast yielded a 7.25 eye; so I was really worried that I hit my peak on the first cast. Luckily I still had a fair day and caught more eyes and a bunch of smallies. Jay also caught a nice 4 lb. 24 inch male that was released. We kept 8 to eat. Hopefully the water clears up by this weekend.
