I left the Demopolis Landing at about 9:45 pm and arrived at the Black Warrior River bridge and anchored my 962 War Eagle boat on the down stream side of the bridge pilings at around 10:00 pm. I lowered my evening secret fishing weapon down into the water and opened a Sprite as I was getting my rods out of the rod storage box. I used 2 medium action spin cast rod and reel sets spooled with 20lb. test mono Stren line. One rod was set up as a drop shot rig and the other was set up with a slip bobber float, weight and hook. I started out with 1/8 lb. of crappie minnows for bait to fish with. By 10:30 pm I had thousands of shad and river minnows circling counter clock wise around my evening secret fishing weapon. I fished the drop shot rig starting on the bottom and slowly reeling it up one crank at a time with about 5 min. in between cranks, buit I had to put it into the rod holder to get a fish off of the float set up, it was a spotted bass that weighed about 3 lbs. Long story made short, By 12:30 am, I caught 26 crappie, 7 bass, 4 catfish and three stripes and had my 20 lb. test Stren line broke 3 times by either a large stripe bass or big catfish, don't know which. So, if you want to catch a lot of fish in a short period of time, go to this site and check it out - http://www.systemsalesmachine.com/app/?af=802116. It cost you nothing to go look and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Also tell all of your buddies, they will thank you for it in the long run.
I used up the 1/8 lb of crappie minnows that I started with and caught shad and river minnows with a bait dip net around the evening fishing secret for the remainder of the trip.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a trip with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first trip has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second trip, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
