We’ve had several requests to try different manufacturer’s
baits and decided today was the day. (Of course we brought some old faves as
well) The morning started off dead slick…almost too slick. We thought we’d beat
the skinny stuff up for reds first. With conditions like that it was easy to
see the fish. LOTS of fish. We were surrounded by fish…non-eating, spooky fish.
We repositioned the boat and Michelle started us off with a couple of mid slots
on a bait by Stinky Fingers Twitchin Shad. I lose one. We eased up the flat around
some nasty shell mounds to see if we could find the bigger wakes. Making longer
cast and looking for the reaction bite by swimming the SlayerInc Sinister Swim
Tails. The reds didn’t disappoint as Michelle ended up sticking a good one,
which exploded on the bait and pretty much sent the rest flying.
Trying to get back by lunch we switched over to trout and
began getting bit pretty good on the plastics. Both the SayerInc and Stinky
Fingers worked equally well (couldn’t resist dragging a measles DOA around as
well). We couldn’t leave without chunking
some hard baits. I went with a fairly new lure from Mirrolure called a “heavy
dine” and Michelle broke out the miracle bait… Bomber Long A. With a slight
chop on the crystal clear water these baits got bit pretty hard. I think the
Heavy Dine from Mirrolure is going to be a good big trout lure for deeper
presentations. All trout were in the 12-16 inch range and of course Michelle
manages the chunkier fish on the jerk bait…of course.
I gotta say the highlight of the day was Michelle sticking
with the finicky reds and horsing a fatty around the shells. Kinda reminds me
of when I use to catch a few back in the day…
