Well the plan was to hit a spot on the top of the falling tide but where I checked the tide and where I fished had a big discrepancy. So with no bites throwing lures and anticipating a high chance of a hightide skunking I said it’s time to go and threw the line out the back and started trolling to try a new spot. Well I made it about ten feet and hooked up, I hadn’t even put the rod in the holder, I was still setting my bait. It was a studly 18 incher that escaped before I got my phone out. I said well the trout are here maybe throw a few more cast. Nothing so it’s trolling time and put the spread out. About 5 minutes and bam a 16 incher, another 5 and repeat.

I came into the area I knows good and both rods go off at the same time. I grab the one on the because it was pulling better, a decent blue fish. At this point I assume the other hit is gone and I’m feeling in slack line and feel some small shakes, ok a dink trout. Wrong 17 incher that wasn’t fiesty. A couple of the 13 inchers really slammed the baits and took off but after a short run they would just come right in. I know this creek well and I got hits only at spots where I have caught trout before and also would catch trout in those spots each time I passed in either direction.

Well the brick makes my trailer pitch and my boat slide off. So after a good five minutes of wrestling with the trailer I get it on the bunks but have to pull it by hand to keep it from sliding off the bunks. I’m standing on the front v of the t
