Finally found someone to go trout fishing with me on Tuesday. I asked a friend to ask a friend if he wanted to go try our luck with some trouties!! (said in an evil little voice) Well he was at my place at 5AM and we hit the road and was in the water by 6:15. We idled from FIT ramp past the coast guard post and opened her up and headed out the river with just enough light to see the markers. It was a gorgeous sunrise and the wind was very calm. It was high tide and was headed out, the day was perfect for fishing trout so far. We got to the super double secret trout spot and threw out the drift sock and threw our gulp shrimp out for sacrifice! It was my friend Mikes, first cast. BAM...............In comes a 17" trout. His largest trout ever. Oh It was on!!!! The water was crystal clear and we were drifting slowly over the grass flats at about 5-8ft of water. BAM...I hit a 21 incher that topped the size for the largest of the day. We continued to catch something, no lie, EVERY cast, whether it be a lizard fish, grouper, pin fish, lady fish, trout, sea bass, we must have caught 20-30 sea bass. Only 2 keepers. We limited out on our trout at 9:30. We caught trout till 10, throwing back about 10 keepers. It was the best day I have ever seen for trout.
After the trout slaying extravaganza, we decided to go and try to find Mike his first shark. Well we headed out about 5-6 miles to some nice bottom and anchor up. We got the chum trail kickin, and dropped a few cut pins down. Well the rod closest to Mike ran like a sprayed roach and he went to set the hook and pulled it out of the sharks mouth. We dropped it again and 5 minutes later, the same thing again. We ended up trying that for about 1 1/2 hours with no luck. We decided to call it a day and headed back to the ramp! We headed home to clean fish and have some good dinner!!! It had to have been the best trout day I have seen!!! :eek3:
Pictures taken with my phone, wife had the new camera.
