Got a few fish and a wet azz!!!!!!
Decided last minute today to make a run and try for some trout. I knew it was going to rain but winds were light to nothing so had to go, not many days with no wind in the winter. Well I got up to the lake about 11:00am and as I am launching the DECK ARM Dude is coming out. A big thanks to him as he put me on the fish pretty quickly and not too far from the launch. Fished stickbaits and spoons all day NO BAIT!!! BELIEVE it or not!!!! I caught my first fish on a 2 inch jointed firetiger shad rap about 175-200 ft back on the board about a half hour in. Small maybe 14/15 inches but was happy just to catch something today! I kept at it for a while and landed 2 more before I finally called a day. They were both about 18/20 inches, measured the first estimated the second. All three were released unharmed. All three on the shad rap as they didn't want anything else I threw. Also gave a weak attempt at jigging them because I had some really nice marks today but I have no patience and if I don't catch one in like five jigs I quit jigging. Surface temp was 45 degrees. Packed it in about 3:00pm soking wet and cold but happy with the outcome of the day!!!! Here's a pic or two first one came out clear the second not so much. Oh well more concerned about my phone than the pics so sorry.
Still soggy...........
