Weekday trout

[Joeytier]

Got out on the lake by around 4 45 this afternoon to try for some trout. Arrived to some stern east winds, which wasn't very encouraging. We started trolling, and after about twenty minutes I get freight train of a hit, and after a few jumps, it gets off.

 

For the next 90 minutes we plugged away without even a sniff.

 

Finally, at about 7 00, we established a pattern. We anchored off of a deep rocky point, and casted into the shallow water. In total, we went 4 for 7 on trout, and 5 chunky OOS smallmouth as a nice added bonus.

 

Slower than the last trip, but at least we got into some fish.

 

An average size fish for the day.

 

The biggest trout of the trip, that I'd estimate to be around 6 pounds.

 

 

All fish were released.

Nice fish! Is your GPS unit mounted to your paddle??? If so, that is AWESOME lol!

Gorgeous browns, joeytier. Thanks.

Haha. Yes, it is. There's also a set of holes drilled across the paddle as well for baits. It really doesn't serve as a paddle at all, since it's screwed right into the boat.

There was one that left quite a bit before us. I swear I've never caught them the same way twice in a row before. I've fished that place two days in a row many times, and NEVER has the same technique been equally as effective both days. Browns are crazy fish.

Well done, some very nice browns there.

[Cudz]

Nice fish. indeed. I want to catch some of those.

Great report. I love the pattern on those Browns. IMO they do not get enough attention for such a beautiful fish. I would love to get one some day!
