The water has cooled down but the fishing is red hot!

Had several trips the past week and all have been productive.  Only had one slow day on the specks and that was last Saturday, but we got some reds and a striper on a bitter cold and windy day.  Got out with my dad this past Friday and we caught some nice trout and reds in a very short trip.  Hit the water Monday and Tuesday and covered about 30 miles of water in two days.  Caught trout and reds in several areas from the backwaters to the surf zone.  I found fish in some new areas and some familiar haunts.  Tuesday I had slick calm conditions and was able to locate six schools of reds and sight fished a school of 2-3 lb trout.  What a day.  Caught 30 or so reds and well over 100 trout.  Those r very conservative estimates.  My day started at a spot all alone and I wacked  trout on every cast for two solid hours.  Not a lot of bigguns but a very fun start to the day.  Left these fish as fired up as I found them to pursue other fish in several different areas.

Thanksgiving Trout

Rennie and I had a great afternoon fishing trip today after a nice Thanksgiving lunch with the family. We only had about an hour and a half of daylight so we had to make it count. We went to one spot and that spot was awesome. On the second cast Rennie hooked a nice trout. It was my turn after that. I caught a few 3lb trout and a few were 2lbs. We landed about 20 trout in that hour and a half. It was a little chilly but not too bad. It makes it a little more bearable when you're having a blast catching so many fish in such a short period of time. The fishing is great this time of year! - Capt Shannon

Cool weather trout

Got out for a short trip w Toddles.  She had a half day of school so we hit the water around 3 pm.  Fished a new spot and wacked our limit on specks in short order.  Took us a little while to find them, but caught them almost every cast for the last thirty minutes of daylight with two reds mixed in. 

the water is cool but the Fishing is hot!

Toddle Fishin

Took Toddles out for a day on the water.  We wacked a bunch of trout and reds.  Toddles caught her first inshore slam on the trip.  We caught fish everywhere we went. Had one nice trout that broke off as we were lifting it out of the water.

another good day

Went back out this afternoon to find some trout.  I caught trout about every where I stopped today.  Got about six reds as by catch.  Lost a really nice trout beside the boat due to me fishing by myself and using no net.  Water temps were from 53-57 degrees.  Caught 15-20 nice trout and left them biting at every stop.  Most were 17-20".

Oh, and contrary to local belief one of the reds jumped like a ladyfish.  I knew it wasn't a trout at hookset but wasn't sure what I had.

Short afternoon trip, lots of action

Found a nice school of reds this afternoon and man were they chewing.  When I'd bring one to the boat 2 to six would follow.  At one point I had one on and several were following the hooked fish near the surface and I pitched a bait to them and instantly hooked up.  Nothing like a double when fishing alone.

Left them biting and hit several more spots.  Found some fish at one of them but fish were not turned on like the other school.
