Yesterday finally got a chance to get out of house , Saharan dust wasnât to bad so headed towards Reggio looking for a couple fish for Fridays supper, headed out to lake only small trout chasing shrimp, went over too bayou Robin, tide was coming in against SW winds , using a sexy shad wake bait along shoreline catching only small reds , until a fish grab my plug screaming my line off reel, at first thought it was a big ole gar, until it broke water then realized that it was a big red , l fought it for bout 15 minutes managed to get it on side of boat lip gaffed it put on scale weighing 28.9 lbs 41 inches long got it back in water reviving red and releasing to spawn another day , did manage to catch 5 keeper trout for Fridayâs supper , was a great day to be back out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
Yesterday I headed over too Hopedale, water was up tide was barely coming in using my mullet wake bait picked up a couple of nice trout before the reds showed up deciding they wanted my plug more ! Catching 5 big reds released them to fight another day, really a great day to be on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
Was gonna head too the back of Delacroix this morning, but decided to head over too Hopedale instead , had no wind or tide early but plenty of bugs to keep me company, any way first spot was a complete no show ! So I headed over too the rock shoreline using my favorite mullet wake bait , the reds were ganged up ambushing mullets as they passed by, first hook up resulted with shark wanting my supper more than me , lost that one , second one got in boat before being cut off , managed to get 4 reds lost 2 reds to sharks , could see reds trying to escape from sharks jaws as they came up on side of boat, finally I gave up so headed back in , was amazed how many boats had launched , whole parking lot was full ! Glad to be on road at 9 am , called the Mandervilln to give him a heads up , I cleaned reds kept 1 for supper and gave rest to dear friend who loves them too ð§ââï¸ð£
Went this morning up the too one of my favorite spots for catching nice trout, today was a catch & release day, using rope jigs and some wake baits, big & small had a blast, let them go so they can spawn and fight another day, just a beautiful day be out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
I havenât been posting any reports, kinda wanna see other peopleâs reports, not havenât seen to many so here goes: Went this morning too one of my spots from my fishing log , trout havenât learned about keeping 6 ft apart ! Us my rope jigs was pulling Two at a time into the boat, was just to easy so I changed to a top water plug and had a blast, keeping only 15 trout for friend and our supper tonight, left them biting, was a great day to be on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
First casualty , my neighbor sent that too me earlier , I believe it was voluntarily
Went late this morning, got out there winds were blowing, water was high tide was falling, went over too a spot that was good to me before, it didnât matter what you used the trout were hungry, I started with a wake bait and caught a couple but winds were fighting me so switching to a rope bait and soft plastic on bottom was the key, only keeping 10 trout for friend and our supper tonight , left them biting. Was definitely a great day to be on the water today. ð§ââï¸ð£
After picking Honey up at airport, yesterday afternoon she mentioned that she would like some fresh trout for Tuesdayâs supper, so I headed out there this morning water was down and falling, no winds at day break the evil gnats come looking for me yep they are vicious, after about half of bottle of bug spray,they wouldnât bother me anymore. I put on a top water plug, first cast was a hook up, got it in box second cast trout knocked it out of water I waited a moment and twitched it and water exploded setting the hooks the fight was on , got her on side of boat and realized that she was a big girl, got her in net quickly took hooks out and weighed her she went 4:48 lbs , I lowered her and dropped her inches from water and she hesitated a moment and took off , happy to see her go, after that the bite on top quit, switched over to catch 5 hooked several nice trout letting the bigger trout go , used twitch baits and wake baits with good results! I kept some for tomorrowâs supper, other than gnats biting it was a great day to be on the water.
Went this morning got down to the launch and forgot my box of barbless wake & twitch baits , I cleaned out boat and left dem on patio table , oh well was gonna be a catch & release day any way, water was falling no wind , started with top water and was just heart stoppers , trout were missing my plug knocking it plum out of the water ! Managed to hook a few , sun started to come up and trout went down, switched to a catch 2000 electric chicken plug first cast hooked up to a nice trout got her in put her on scale she went 4:13 lbs , quickly I got her back into the water watching her swim away, all in all was a blast catching and releasing trout for the better morning, Was a great day to be on the water even if itâs Friday the 13 ð§ââï¸ð£
Went out yesterday morning fog was around, manage too get to a spot that was very good in the past using wake baits , I had put some barbless treble hooks on a mullet wake bait that I used Sunday with good results , had a blast catching some nice trout for a dear friend and their family and a few for my Fridayâs supper , just another great day to be on the water . ð§ââï¸ð£
Went out this morning, water was back up headed too one of my favorite spots when using hard plastic, had plenty of small trout about , funny thing was you had to catch 5 little ones before you had a keeper ! Kept a few for a good friend who ask me for a few for their Friday evening supper, was a very nice day to be on the water till the evil gnawing gnats decided to invite them selfs to snack on me ð§ââï¸ð£
Went out this morning knowing that the water was low, got down there and it was extremely low , so decided to go too a spot thatâs usually good on low water conditions, the water was clear enough for using hard plastic twitch baits and wake baits, was fishing in 2 ft of water , up close to the shore lines catching a few nice trout only let letting them go to fight another day ! Was a great day to be out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
Last night I looked over my fishing log , and picked a spot thatâs usually full of big trout, got out water was cloudy but high . Water was falling, so I headed too my spot , using hard plastic the bite was on ! Catching some nice big girls that I released to fight another day, left my spot and headed for another spot thatâs good for perfect size trout for frying keeping 7 trout 13-14 inches and played around catching a releasing trout for the better of the morning . Was a excellent day to be on the water. ð§ââï¸ð£
