Winter Salmonids

[fishingbuddies]

Went out yesterday in Raw conditions to a very popular north jersey lake stocked with Salmonids. Trolled in 12 n 20 FOW. Had an amazing Double hook up. (Flicker shads acting as divers with rear hook removed instead put a BB swivel... 3 ft of flouro to a small spoon). The trout hit in 12FOW and as i stopped to reel in... the other rod went in 20FOW with the Landlocked running under the yak. Netted the trout then reeled the Salmon and scooped it up concurrently. Almost had a 3rd surface bitter as I dropped my lure in the water while unhooking n the wind drifted me. Whatever it was... it got off.
And that was within the 1st 20mins. Wind picked up and the rains came n the bite shut off. Got wet n cold so it was time to call it.
