Made a quick trip both yesterday and today to the north shoreline grass beds. Lots of reds moving around and tons of bait. My trolling motor remote died so yesterday I simply drifted
And cast to three reds. First one was a horse that slammed my spinnerbait but how he missed getting it in his mouth is beyond me. Exciting though. Next red a little further down ignored my spinner completely. Third red was the one. Smaller than the other two going 17 but fun none the less.
Today went to he same place around 10ish. Being the wind died down I got out of the boat and started walking. Didn't see any for the first twenty minutes but then saw a bunch of pogies explode. Took two steps in that direction, cast to the blowup, and caught a 24" red. Real fun fish. He hit the same spinnerbait I was using yesterday. Strung him and made a second cast to the same spot to see if he had a partner and sure enough nailed him as well back to back. He was smaller about 18" but who can complain about that. Walked around another fifteen minutes and saw one other group of three maybe four reds but I got too close. They didn't spook out right but definitely were jumpy. Pulled the spinnerbait through them and one charged it. I thought here we go but he went right up to it and veered off. Damn! Oh well. Came on in.
This is my favorite kind of fishing. Love them reds. I need to get together with some of you trout snobs and learn their patterns better...you show me the the trout I will put you on the reds...
I have a pic but posting this up on my iPad and for my life cannot see where to post the pic! Sorry about my ignorance...
