I decided to fish after work today and its been a month no fishing for me. Today at the lake was WIDE open. I set up at 2:15 PM and had a line wet at 2 :30 PM I used a short leader ( 6" to 10 ") and Salmon Peach Power Bait. Everyone around me was catching and on everything. This was one of those EPIC days for sure.
I baited up and casted out . I then tied up my other rod. As I was tieing up I got my first bite. SWEET !!! The trout jumped and took line and was fun for me to have a trout on my hook after a month of no fishing. Skunk off and got my other line out.( First trout was 1.7 Lbs. ) I got hit again and this one was a larger trout. It fought and took line off my real like Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I got him close to lands edge and this Crazy Strong Trout took off again . It was on the top of the water and going out like a Darodo or something. Unbeliveable. But people witnessed it. This turned out to be one of the Steelhead trout that were planted and the exact trout I was after. This trout weighed 1.10 It sure fought like a 3 or 4 lber. No kidding. I then rebaited w/ same Salmon Peach PB and casted out and hit the trout on the head as it bit instantly and the fight was on. I could tell this was a larger modle and I was careful not to mess with the drag. I got it in close and it took 3 or 4 runs with line going out like crazy before I got it in to shore. This one was a 2.8. I then get hit once again and I can tell it;s even bigger than the last one. Sweet !!! Same thing I fought it and when I got it close to shore it took off like a freight train. I got that one in and it was a 3.0 exactly. A nice fat one with btrute shoulders. At this point I am looking at the trout in my net more closely and seeing that these are the Steelhead trout that I was after . ( I later conformed this as the meat on these trout were PINK when I cut them open ) .
I then hooked up on my last trout and it was a rainbow that weighed 1.8
The weather should hold out for the weekend , I would go out to the lake and get some !!!!
