Me, my brother Matt, and cousin Jesse met my dad down at the vine this morning. My dad pulled out ALL the stops and got us a pontoon for the day! ALRIGHT! Got out to my Dads Favorite point on the west bank and set up shop. We all threw out and assortment of PB and night crawlers. It was about 10 minutes in and BENDO! We are off and running.

My Dad and Jesse both land trout!

My Brother got hungry for Sushi so he pulled one in...

I was the Last one to hook up, but the first to pull out a brook trout!

Then I landed another brook after that

My Dad and brother pulled a few more out of that spot, and we decided to move to the flats... and again my dad is making it a one man show.

The action slowed down there so we went back to our first spot to little luck, so we packed it up for the day...

The yellow stringer in this photo is my brothers, with my 3 fish at the end, the blue one is ALL MY DADS! He killed it today, 8 fish landed, about 4 more lost on the line... He payed for he boat and bait, so he deserved it!

All fish were caught on both night crawlers and various flavors of PB. I threw 3 different colors of trout worms and lip riperz every way I know how... Didn't even feel a nibble. Oh well, had fun! Thanks for reading, good luck out there everyone...

Great report and post. Looks like there were a couple of descent fish in that mix of a limit. Last year the fish would have eaten your dads little net.:LOL: But that is one of the better stringers ive seen out of the vine in a while. Great job. See anyone gettin any love on the troll?

You are right about the bait changes... I was there two weeks ago and I could not get the trout to touch my inflated night crawler dipped in Garlic dip or anchovie gel.Not one nibble:Confused: Cindy:Big Grin:

Yeah, I've gotten NO love on plastics at all this year... Its weird. I tried 3 differnt trout worms, drop shot, carolina, power mouse, every type of retrieve I could think of... NOTHING! I even made a power mouse with monterey jack cheese. What am I doing wrong? I had the same problems with plastics at my fav. Bass'n hole the other day too! :Angry:

Next time you and the Family come out to fish at Irvine Lake, come up introduce your self first thing in the morning and I will be happy to see what your doing and what you can do to improve your catch rate at the lake. I am always there to help an angler.
