Rob and I took his boat out on the Pyeongtaek river today – we had an early start and were in the water by 5 and fished till around 3 in the afternoon.
Our friend John and his faithful fishing buddy, Gochu the wiener dog, were also out there today.
As you can see, it was a beautiful day out there, albeit just a tad on the hot side. For most of the day, the river was like glass.
The carp fishermen and a few bass fishermen were also out in force, enjoying the nice weather. There were lots of other boats on the water today as well, ranging from inflatables to really nice bass boats with big outboards.
The fishing was tough out there; one of the hardest days we’ve had yet. For whatever reason, the bass were not cooperating at all. I think we caught 12 bass between us, and the two above were the biggest ones. The fish in the pic to the left; I had cast out with a 4-inch Senko and my line had come off the reel in a birds nest so I decided to cut the mess off and retie but I wanted my hook and worm back. I cut the line, and started pulling the worm in by hand when I felt a weight on there. I thought I was pulling in a branch or some weeds so imagine my surprise to see this bass on the end, with my Senko in its gullet. And on a day like today, I’ll count that as a catch 
The good news is that the water temperature is back down to the low to mid 70′s so in a few weeks, things should start picking up. I had a blast today. After all those "early morning bass" episodes consisting of 1 1/2 hours worth of fishing before work, it was great to get a full day in at last, and in a boat, no less! Thanks, Rob, and have your wife put some aloe on that sunburn 
and all were caught on 5-inch Senkos, black and black with blue flakes, fished nice and slow.
