“and I looked behind me to check on where they were and there was a freaking water spout”
That is so epic!! Man, I wish I could’ve been there for that!! That picture is SICK!!!!
Thank you for taking it. When I’m fishing (especially running to my first spot) I’m not stopping for anything. But a chance to be Reed Timmer for a minute would’ve been hard to pass up. LOL
A water spot in the dark is fkn nightmare fuel!!! LOL
“I tried a one ounce jig and just didn’t feel like I had a lot of feel getting to the bottom.”
Yeah, you can slaughter them on a 1oz jig there, but if you can’t tell where the lure is, then that’s a problem.
12lb FC is awesome. Great choice.
Next time, bring a medium-heavy or heavy spinning rod with a 2oz heavy drop shot to solve your problems.
“one of them being 20″ so I released her”
Thank you. That’s the end-goal I’m trying to get with anglers and it seems all anyone is interested in is their fish fry. lol So, thank you.
“I fished two but to my dismay the tide/current was screaming in (pilot station tied showed it should have been falling?)”
You mean in the river? I’m pretty sure water there is going to rise/fall differently. Was the water level affected by wind in the days prior? You don’t have to answer that, just something to think about.
I know you probably wanted the trout fishing to be better. They are somewhere out there, and I think the rigs are worth looking at. You never know what you can get into out there.
When I get fishing regularly again I’ll go take a look. It will be a minute. I’ve got 47 terabytes of video to organize, backup, and make a system, build hardware to that end.
Lots of bottlenecks in the LAFB creative process that are getting fixed, but it takes time. The fish aren’t going anywhere.
Great report, thanks for posting!
