Re: Thanksgiving morning tradition! Browns!11/28
Nice job keeping the tradition going.
I had a day after Thanksgiving trout trip in CT. that I did from '68 to about 2000, only missed once for extenuating circumstances. Try to keep the string going because if you miss one and then another the end of a tradition isn't far off. What started mine was by luck, we happened to find a school of just stocked 14 - 15" rainbows. We started catching them one after another and were having triple headers. One of the guys had this crazy looking lure called a vibra-bat, it was black and he had never caught anything on it so I borrowed it and caught one on that.LOL I found out from experience that in ponds and lakes, newly stock trout will school together and generally follow the shallow water so if you find them, fish-on! One time we left Jersey in drizzle and had to deal with a foot to 14" of snow when we arrived. Since they would stock from different places you had to do some searching, one year I didn't find them until almost dark and it got very cold overnight, I went back the next morning with calm winds, an air temp of 10 degrees with steam coming off the water and the fun began. I need to stop now before it sounds like fish stories.lol
