FISH CATCHING TRAVEL

Did not prep this report but the punch line was the wind.  It was supposed to be 10 – 15mph out of the SE and it was blowing every bit of that at daylight.  According to the weather dude we had gusts to 30mph.  Trust me the ride back from the island was bumpy.

The tide was rising with a projected high like 2:oopm then falling all night.

*****************The new bait is coming.  Michael is headed to ICAST in Orlando for the unveil and it will be out soon.

First thing I could not find my camera that I use wading so I used a spare.  The pictures are so so but I can not find the download cord.  Of course I caught a big trout today

The wind was blowing right down the pike straight out of the east, and it was basically windy everywhere.  I did the usual drain fishing thing from near Pringle down to South Pass.  The first place the grass was not to bad and right off the bat I caught a trout on topwater, but the others who followed were not willing.  Then a couple of small reds fell for it, but the grass and the wind made it to much of hassle so I switched to plastics.  3 or 4 on the Controlled Descent prototype, and 3 or 4 on a DOA Cal.  The only poor result is I lost 2 big fish of some sort, not sure why.

Most were not much, so time to throw the fake shrimp and popping cork, and several jumped on it.  I knew it would work so time for a move.  With the tide up I headed down to South Pass and got serious with the fake shrimp.  I am still using the crappie bobber as a popping cork and it works just fine.  It is easy for them to pull under and it gives you plenty of time to set the hook.  Today it was 2′ below the float, a clear glitter shrimp on a 1/8th jig head.

First on the new spot lost a big one, then a good trout, then another, and then the bite.  It has been awhile since I caught a big trout but this one qualified.  The picture tells the story but I am not sure if I can figure out how to download it.  Before it was over a nice limit of trout and a nice red.  Several small trout also ate.  They were located out of the mouth of a drain in 2 – 4′ foot of water.  There was scattered shell and obvious potholes which provided a bite on each one.  It was a consistent bite until about  1:30 when a big thunderhead came over the horizon and being that for from the ramp I called it a day.

I will be out first thing tomorrow with a Wade Right customer I met last month.  And I found the camera, hope it does not jink us!  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
