For our second practice day, we locked into Rodman Reservoir. In here the water looks beautiful. Very clear (compared to the dark coffee color of the water elsewhere in the St. John’s River,) with lots of hydrilla and eelgrass, and huge expanses of timber-covered flats. As good as it looked though it was still difficult to get bit, and in fact I went all day without catching a fish, but Craig caught three or four on a jerkbait in the old river channel.
That night we had to make a decision on how and where to practice on our final practice day. There is still all of Lake George, which we haven’t even looked at, as well as fifty miles of river to fish. We decided that while we didn’t catch a pile of fish today, Rodman had a lot of potential, and we will spend tomorrow, our last day, looking for more in there.
