JEM Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Fished solo this morning. In spite of a water temp of 81 degrees and it's almost October, I managed to get a limit of trout and reds. We need some cooler weather!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEM Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Haha. Good eye, JJ. It was torn up good! About 30 mins before I used my last shrimp, I fished a large dead shrimp out of the well and put in the baitwell gutter. After I used the last shrimp, (which I caught a trout on) I grabbed that dead shrimp and stuck him on the hook. I threw him maybe 20 feet behind the boat. As soon as it hit the water, a fish grabbed it and took off and got me in the flooded marsh grass. I can only assume he tore his tail up while I was working him out of the grass. The 8 lb test mono held and I won that fight. He got to swim off to fight another day, a little worse for the wear! The red bite on low tide was as fast as you could chunk a bait in the water. The trout bite later on on the incoming tide was also as fast as you could chunk a bait in the water! Reel fun!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great weekend. Looks like a NE'er here for a few days.......JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yep, and high tides for a couple of weeks. That is why I called in sick yesterday. Figured I better fish while the catchin' is good. After all, I ain't getting any younger! Not getting any purtier either! LOL Let me know when you get back, and we will go try to "phone" 'em up.
