Rooster,

Did you fish Corona or SARL???

In any case, a nicely finned 7lber is a great trout!

If and when it ever clears your gonna see some really really nice stringers. My guess by the looks of it another 2-3 weeks :Head Bang:

Unfortunately, by 2 or 3 weeks from now it will probably rain again, and kick up more mud in the water. Was anyone catching anything with bait from shore? With bad visibility, maybe strong scents would help a little.

Sounds like SARL to me.


Congrats to you Rob.

I know that you got your fish on the troll, but did you troll the whole time?

Yes we trolled the whole time. We talked with others that were baited up and they had poor results. So we just stuck it out and got a bite every 4 laps. We figured out that only the bigger units were hitting on the troll in Wonka water.
Today My partner in crime took his grandson out with same results. 1 @ 7 1/2 and 1 @ 6 1/2 . Only 2 strikes all day but some fat toads.
Its so dirty that im thinking they only bite if you happen to be trolling by 1 inch from there nose :LOL:

Its alot of work trolling 100 laps for 1 bite but to him its worth it. 7 1/2 is his new PB trout..
