I appreciate the info fishman.We went to ivy hill wednesday and had motor trouble but the birds were doing more flying than sitting the water temp was 44 and I beileive we would have caught a few rock fish.Where going back to butchers creek on tuesday plugging the banks.I,m hoping that the water temp is still around 44 but something tells me it will be colder.Still would appreciate any information about these rock fish at kerr lake.Thanks
