Here is the latest testimonial sent in from Aaron Saenz
I used my kayak to get myself to some spoil banks off the shoreline of Port Mansfield. The winds were calm, the sun was shining, and the water was somewhat muddy. I arrived to my stake-out location and climbed out and began to fish, throwing a ball tail shad. The morning was slow to start, only yielding some dink trout. I was working the drop off on the backside of a small spoil bank where the bottom goes from sand to sand/shell mix to mud. I had worked the whole southwest, west, and northwest edge of the spoil when I decided to head back to my kayak. As I was side stepping working back in a southwest manner, my bait was smacked! Fish on! I had been having a hard time setting the hook all morning with previous fish because the bite was so lethargic and non-committal. Needless to say, feeling this was a big fish, I was worried about losing it. As it came closer I could see a big dark green/ grey back lift out of the water. This was a big trout! I grabbed my net and so did my wading partner. My partner tried to net the fish and the fish darted down to his ankles. My heart sunk! But she re-emerged and I was able to slide the net under her. There she was a 27" Port Mansfield Trout! What a day.
I was fishing the area because I had just seen the "Finding and Catching a Limit of Trout" DVD and I was working hard to find "nervous and escaping bait", slicks, and bird activity in the area. This info did help me; by the way, catch a limit of trout just a few days later. More on that in a minute. What I found really interesting is that when I received and watched my "Finding and Catching Big Speckled Trout" DVD a week later, it turned out that the area I caught my personal best Trout was described in that DVD. All conditions covered in that second DVD were present when I caught her. It was a pre-cold front day, in mud transitioning from sand/shell and it was a slow bite day. All I can say is that both DVD's both intentionally and inadvertently helped me catch a Limit and a Personal Best Trout. I recommend these videos for weekend warrior types like myself. These DVD's will get you ahead of a learning curve in order to gain instant knowledge that would take years to learn with just pure experience.
I did mention that a handful of days later I went back and caught a Limit of Trout. It was a post-front day and the water was COLD! Especially since I don't have waders...yet! Once it warmed up, so did the bite. My wading partner and I targeted slicks that day especially as well as nervous bait. We would spot a slick and we would wade around it and towards the spot of origination. We would usually at least catch a fish or two each with that approach. I also noticed one time some shrimp skipping on the water's surface. I put two nice trout on the stringer there as well.
More than anything, my confidence level has improved immensely since watching these DVD's. I now feel confident that I can go out and spot some possibly locations for fish. Again, I would highly recommend these DVD's to people looking to get a little edge on their passion for finding and catching fish.
Thanks to Tobin and Troutsupport for helping to make this sport interesting and a whole lot of fun!
