It's a completely undisturbed day, working, on the phones, then the invite around 11:30am. My cousin calls and asks that if I have the time, he has been at Sante Fe Dam and, if I'de like to join that would be cool.:Wink:

My work was finished detailing the calls I made. Yes I prepared and got there at about 12:00pm if not a bit later.

He was kind of upset that he had been there all morning and no bites. In fact the three other people on the resevoir also had skunk.:Skunk:

I said, "Pick your stuff up and follow me." So we set up camp to where I directed us.:Arrow:

He caught a fish within 10 min.:Fishing Catch:

There was life back in him and thats good to see. He wasn't chasing ducks, getting snagged, or desribing the dwelling and migration of the local wildlife.:Thumbs Up:

Then "Zibit Twitch Booyah "!! - I nailed a Peter Panner, but a little bigger than the norm, just about 5 min later.:Fishing Catch:

Baited that hook, cast out, sat down and "Zibit Twitch Booyah"!! Simon says a little bigger please. And it was so, I had a Duo :Fishing Catch:

My cousin is beside himself. "Wow two in like 10 min"! I bait, cast out and all is well. We met a guy named Jose that said to call him Jesse. I dunno Witness Protection? ...who knows. He relayed he likes that area and gave us his blessings then left for his own "Casting Station".:Cold Fishing:

I would say maybe it's 12:40pm by now... not too hot.... very little breeze.... "Zibit Twitch Booyah"!! I hit number Three.:Fishing Catch:

I get him to the shore to feed him the "Stringer Jerky" and with hook still in his mouth.... "Zibit Twitch Booyah"!! .. the other Rod goes "Bentendo". Yes, I pulled number three high up away from water to rest, Reel in number Four, drag Four up high, feed them both "Stringer Jerky" then proceed to de-hook. It's now 1:00pm:Fishing Catch:

My cousin has the sad clown face on now. Claims he has to go soon, blah, blah, blah. I said, " Try my spot, move your stuff over here." So he did. ... and "Zibit Twitch Booyah"!! I have Numero Cinco de Trouto. and he hates me.. :Finger: ...haha ..:Fishing Catch:

He's pissed and mumbles a bit. Then guess what? His rod goes "woop woop" and he about lost his mind. :EyePop: He had number two and was happy again.:Fishing Catch:

I am there now at about 1:20pm and we decide to split, I have limit and he is happy with two. I reel in my last rod...."WHAMO"!!! ... I had "Sante Fe Six Rockin my Stix". I gave him that one so he went home with three. :Fishing Catch:

And now a shameless plug, - Zeke's Sierra Gold Trout Floating Bait was used today in Green and Orange. This product can be purchased at your neighborhood tackle shop and is exclusively used by
Resident Angler, Dan The Man.... " With Zeke's on my hook, Fishing turns into Catching ".... :Thumbs Up:

By the way - and it's seven days past the last stocking... hmmm
We left with 8 total for almost 1 1/2 hours in one spot..... I say, "No Spam at Sante Fe Dam" .....

Great post and pics Dan! WTG on the fish. I usually get the skunkage at SFD unless I'm lucky enough to fish the day of or the day after the stock, cause the birds clean out the trout FAST at that lake. To catch a haul like that a week after the stocking at a city lake is nice work.

im so impatient when it comes to fishing for trout. i cant sit down and wait while the powerbait is doing its thing. i have to just keep casting with rooster tails see if anything hits.

but nice catch, i see they got bigger.:Big Smile:

Great "Fishworx" out there brother. I think I'll be there tomorrow Friday to "Hunt the Trout" once again.

Thanks everyone for the gratz. I hope to see y'all Saturday at the Vine, I'll be on the Bike and around time for the Pot Luck.
