Hi All,
Sorry for the late post, I forgot to post it up this past weekend.
After fun with Father-in-Law Jim and the Nephews, I got out Sunday morning by myself in the tube to work the same hot spot at the mouth of Grout Bay.
I was determined to pickup double-digit trout on the fly and powerbait, but no such luck.
The trout generally didn't want the woolly bugger, I'm sure if I was better I could have picked up more but they just didn't seem to be hitting no matter how I tried it.
I also had a line with PB floating up from the bottom. Few hits on that. I think the main problem was I didn't anchor-down so the PB was always moving and the trout at the bottom didn't seem to want to hit moving PB - at least not mine.
I also tried drifting with PB higher in the water for a while and no luck there either.
I did score at least 10 crappie. I got a couple pix - one was pretty nice sized for a BBL crappie. Most of the crappie were hitting near the edge of weeds, but a few were suspended.
As I was preparing to leave I figured I'd work back into the deep weeds of Grout Bay for one more crappie. Ended up hitting my first trout of 2 - right there in the weeds, near the edge, but well inside!
Good day overall, just not what I was hunting for.
Cheers,
Eric
