Hi Andy, last year a buddy fishing for channels caught a nice brown trout on a size 2/0 hook with hot dog beneath Duke Island. Didn't look like a hatchery fish

Long way from club stocked waters although I guess it's possible.

Thanks for the motivational pics. No smb for me yet either. Stopped at the QB last night from 7-8. Only got a couple bites under the bridge. Saw another angler going for stripers down stream. Also, saw something cruising, making wakes, a few feet away from me near shore. Couldn't identify what it was.
