Its the last day of the TroutfesT, just waiting around till Awards Ceremony and Boat Giveaway at 3:30pm. It's been pouring rain all morning and afternoon. Sun has shown itself a few times but still very cloudy. This year is going to be very interesting.
During Friday prefish caught nothing but 10.5" to 12" dinks. The same continued on Saturday. We got our limits easily but couldn't get anything of substantial size. Dinks were half pounders pretty much. It appears the big fish for the tourney weighed in at 2.3 pounds so far. Everything we caught was on the troll using Needlefish size 1 in watermelon, chicken wing, red dot frog, silver shad, red dot chartreuse. Using a half pinched night crawler was deadly!!! Limits of dinks caught quickly. :). Saturday ended great with meeting the family that came up during the day to support me and my niece Erica who's fishing the tourney with me. We had a nice quick boat ride around the lake before it became off limits time for those fishing the tourney.
Sunday completely rained out very windy wet and cold. Barometeic pressure falling rapidly. Catching anything but a cold and runny nose was very difficult. But we still landed 3 more dinks before 10am and then called it quits on the water.
More to come......
