“It doesn’t have a trolling motor, doesn’t get very shallow, and he doesn’t have his transducer hooked up.”
That’s all I had for years. Danforth anchor, no trolling motor, no sonar and somehow I got by. The fishing was a lot better then, too. But it worked for Breton Sound.
“I committed the cardinal sin of LAFB and did not plan anything for this trip. My plan was to get to Breton Island, idle around the beach and look for something that was worth stopping for.
Honestly, that could work. Well, it did. But it’s just that time of year, the river is up, Breton Island could totally be a one stop shop. That and we both know you can see the rigs you want to fish.
“Shoutout search function.”
Thank you for demonstrating a modicum of initiative. Man, I wish more people did that. Sure is a let down to bust ass making content just to have people ignore it. Thank you, this makes the effort worth my time. I really appreciate that. You literally rolled the Dooms Day Clock for LAFB back a little bit. Everybody should buy you a beer.
“We chose Campo’s because I wouldn’t go to Hopedale Marina on the 4th of the July if it was my last day on earth.”
Yeah, I’d rather shoot myself. lol
“He was jacked and that right there pretty much made his trip.”
That’s awesome. Good for him. Little did he know the extra goodness to come.
“The birds we started on were too far off the shore though, so we moved closer to the shore and anchored up this time.”
Excellent thinking. This is why you’re TOTS and everyone else is just a warm body thieving oxygen.
“say that live shrimp is just a necessity in the summer time”
Because people are retarded and no matter how much content I make proving otherwise they’ll stay inside their perceived comfort zone and continue to goose egg. “iTs An iNsuRanCe pOliCy” or whatever makes them feel better. Or maybe just listen to the guy who does this for a living and watch his hours-long unedited videos catching them without live shrimp, and maybe take time to notice that what he’s doing to that end is throwing a cork or dropping an HDS over the side of the boat to catch these fish. There’s no mystical “wOrKinG tEh LuRe”, just finding biting fish in the first place. Not hard. But boy, do people love to make it hard. Maybe just go bowling or try finger painting.
“We caught 30 trout. He caught 2.”
Yeah, sounds about right.
“I have nothing against live shrimp for the record.”
I DO!! lol Just kidding. It has its place in the toolbox, it’s just not the best or overall best tool or a guaranteed way to catch fish. find fish > live bait
And when people do catch using live bait they attribute it to the live bait, rather than the thing that was actually happening: i.e. boat positioning, sinking weight, good presentations, just being on the fish to begin with, etc.
“Mission success. Overall an incredible day.”
Hell yeah it was.
If I sound grumpy it’s because Breton Island is probably on fire right now. It’s been hard overcast out there all morning. I was supposed to go today in my buddy’s bay boat, but he chickened out and wanted to go sight fishing instead. Oh well.
As always, great report, thanks for posting!
