jjcanoe Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well, it finally happened, hell froze over and I caught a trout during the trout derby, as opposed to catching one during the walleye derby, which seems to happen! The TRAA gang met up at the hatchery at the crack of 7 this morning, about 10 guys dragged themselves out of bed to be there on time, (I was not one of them) My wife elbowed my at 6:50 this morning and asked me if I was supposed to be fishing right now D'OH! get dressed, hit timmies, get to the river at about 7:30 and the guys were already geared up and headed down . This year started off with slow with the guys getting a few smallmouth, and then a few silver bass and then a few walleye, After about 2 hours of drifting single eggs, I decided to switch up to some plastics I brought and get me a nice bass or 2. That didn't happen, but seeing that it was the Trout derby I did manage one small walleye about 10-11" on a 5" soft plastic swimbait. About 10:45 I cast out into the faster water and just as I flipped my bail closed line started screaming off the reel Fish On! I hadn't even started reeling yet. Here's the results. Some times it pays to sleep in! Thanks to Beats for taking the pics for me jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
