Wow!
So – I hadn’t planned to fish, but left Eden Isles (at the crack of 11:15 am) on Wednesday for the same reason; light winds, clear skies, huge outgoing tide, etc.… I followed a boat out onto the lake and saw that they were off to fish the bridges, and wondered about that as I turned east toward The Rigolets. There were some great catches on the bridges back around Thanksgiving, but I figured the trout had surely moved on by now – and then I saw my water temperature gauge reading 62-63 degrees, about the same as Thanksgiving week, and started to second-guess that idea. I had a fairly good day – boated 14 specks and a few white trout, caught a 19” hammer on the very first cast, scouted out some new spots – but now I’m kicking myself for turning left instead of right coming out of Eden Isles. Congratulations on a truly epic trip!!!
