Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Dark Cloud (12/30)
« on: December 30, 2016, 02:44:38 PM »
Well after putting my cat down yesterday, I figured I would try to take my boat out to Jennings today since my boat runs pretty good as long as I don't have to get it up on plane. I was pretty bummed and did a little too much "drowning my sorrows" and the boat was not really an option by the morning.
I hit the shoreline armed with all of the baits that have been catching. The trout stock was yesterday and I was feeling confident.
I got on the board quickly with a true "Pee-Pee Bass"! lol
Trout rats had the beach on lock down, but I held my little spot of land with 2 rods to keep them away. Rovingpacks of trout were swimming in the shallow water. I saw hundreds in total today. I would run my lures right over their backs at times as I apparently did not have the magic color to entice them.
After switching lures and colors a dozen times, I finally get one in the net! whew! I was getting worried there for a minute.
Well basically, they were catching them on both sides of me, but I was almost just trying to snag one at that point. I did see an 8 pound bass following one of the roving schools of trout though which was pretty cool.
Finally quit when I couldn't take the kids on either side of me catching and I was not. It was a dark cloud over my head for sure.
Oh well. Mission accomplished and it was kind of nice fishing in the rain.
Thanks for reading.
