Forgot a report from last weekend. Me, prof. salt, and my buddy hunter made a trip out to find some more trout. TOpwaters was the name of the game. It didnt take long to find out limits.




I've been watching this minor break in the winds all week and was hoping it would hold. This last front we had wasnt really cold but it was nasty and brought some rain with it. I wasnt too sure how it would effect the fish so I decided to try my hand at them this morning.


I got to launch and it was FOGGY! I could hear a few boats on the water already so I doubled up my 360 lights and started paddling out. Most people were going slow enough to evade me if they were heading right at me. Just about everyone was nice and appologized. No hard feelings, its foggy for everyone were all just trying to fish.

3 boats were HAULING it down the shoreline in the no boat area. There is no freaking need to go that damn fast with fog that thick. I was paddling up on one wade fisherman when one of the boats came zooming by. Almost hit me and got a lot closer to hitting the wader. He got water in his waders from the wake and just left after that. Watch your damn speed before you kill someone.


Rant aside! The sunrise was killer and birds were working around me so I tossed back a lure and started trolling to my spot.



It didnt take long for 2 nice trout in the 19" range to smack my lure. Thanks to some ...uhhh...user error....they never saw the stringer.

I finally get to my spot and anchor up. Last weekend was all topwaters but they didnt want them that much today. Only one trout took the top all morning. I switched to the Rip-n-slash and started adding them on the stringer.

After a while that died out and I turned to purple paddle tails and wedgetails. It was one after another out there!

By 8:15 I had a limit of trout on the stringer. Spent the rest of the day trying new areas and lures just releasing a couple more keepers. Never found the big girls but its hard to complain with a full stringer.



No more reports for at least a week. Ill be prefishing all over for the IFA next weekend. With 2 fronts in between now and then im not sure how much good it will do me but thats fishing....

Till next time..
Life is good...
