We hit the river with fresh eel and frozen shad to see which bait would bring in more fish. The current was strong, bugs were everywhere, and the fishing was intense. Fresh eel outperformed frozen shad by a solid margin, proving it’s still the go-to bait.

We dealt with line tangles, tool fixes, and a boat full of frogs, but kept landing fish after fish. If you like honest fishing with no fluff, this one’s for you.
