Things are winding town a tad at the resort - so I was able to get out for a few hours in the afternoon the last two days.
It is flat out STUPID wide open at the Treasure and the Gilbert Glacier inlets. White jigs w/ pink pw trailer, Rainbow Sparkle Atomic Tubes, Thomas Bouyants, Daredelives, and my cousin from Oregon was throwing some crazy mini spoons called the Luhr Jenson something Knight and was killing it. Broke off a 5+ lb mini-jig fish on Monday (frayed line, should have retied) and farmed a 3lber on a jerk bait (rippin' minnow) about 2ft from the boat after a drag peeling aerial fight that required dipping the rod under both anchors twice - no noob move, hook just pulled out on probably the 6th jump. Even the stockers are fighting like pissed off brownies right now...I love the fall!!!!
The most exciting thing was yesterday afternoon I saw a 10lb class Brown cruising the Gilbert Glacier inlet - hands got a little shaky when I got a good look at it from the side - biggest brown I've seen at South since 2006. I immediately cut off my jig and tied on a 3" hard jerk bait. Didn't catch the big brown but I was shocked to stick 8 or so rainbows in a row on it - those fish are aggressive right now - no doubt!
It's all about the inlets right now - Rock Slide is pretty slow, the Dam is ok.
I have some friends up for the next 10 days so I'm going t be out there every chance I get - will certainly have some more toad pics to share in the next week or so.
Peace,
Smitty
