“A rookie move: I had a 20+” trout breakoff at the boat with me trying to boat flip him.”
Hopefully you followed it up with the pro move of showing no emotion and immediately casting back out there lol.
Been there. Done that.

Nice job again. Keep up the momentum. I’m getting very envious over here.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Get that boat fever back man. A little ole trailer hub can’t stop an @Aspiring_Angler !!
I’ve had plenty of trestles trips like the one you posted. I feel this report in every way. The benefit of a boat on a day like today would’ve been you could’ve ditched the trestles for greener pastures.
As far as the knot on the leader, I think you should give yourself a pat on the back for tying such a strong knot. I’d rather have to pop that thing off a snag than lose one of those trestles hammers due to a loose knot.
The trestles should be producing here soon, so get back out there ASAP and build on this report.

You covered a lot of ground. I love the exploring strategy. That whole area is my white whale. Perhaps I need to go exploring.

Landry’s interview was great. He’s the kind of guy we are looking for too. Unknown, but can flat out fish. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did.

Welcome to the group. What kind of boat are you running?
-
Thanks for the shoutout. I’m a rod porn star.
Send me all your broken stuff and I’ve got you covered. Or I’ll make you the trout master 5000 guaranteed to catch limits.

I still don’t trust them

I’ve never fished this area launching out of Beshels, but I want to. I can’t offer much insight to the area around Beshels, but I’ll be anxiously awaiting this report.
Shoutout to you for trying this area, always being willing to try new stuff, and telling us about it. Much respect.
Go and hammer em

“One thing I’m noticing is that using casting tackle out of my kayak might be an issue dues to the softball pitch nature of flinging the thing.”
I assume you’re talking about a roll cast? Roll casts are great for the trestles and doable in a kayak. But don’t think that’s the only way to cast it. Overhand that thing, side arm, anything.
I’m with Devin on the braid/leader. Ditch it. Why would you want two knots to tie with two weak points? I’m straight mono or flouro all day.

“When was the last time you packed the hubs?”
Never. And I paid the price. Lesson learned and now I’ll maintain them and always carry a spare.

Yes and if I can’t repair it, I can replace it

“After that, I personally dislike going back to where I got ’em on before. It’s tempting, it’s easy, it’s the low hanging fruit, I get it. But if you strike out then you will lose confidence.”
For a while I had a stretch where I wouldn’t fish the same area twice in a row. During that time I was trying new to me areas regularly, so that made me really dial it in more and focus on the process rather than than the results.
Fast forward to more recent times and while I still fish different areas, it seems that I’m in the Pontchartrain Basin or Venice the most.
So I definitely hear what you’re saying. I need to get back to exploring new stuff more. Its too easy to get result focused in an area you’re familiar with. And once you do that, mistakes happen, things get overlooked, and for me personally it ultimately results in less fish.
