A reprint from a Jerrys Bait and Tackle fishing report 2005....


Steve and Butch Taylor are "circuit trainers". It is a fishing circuit. They go from spot to spot, drift it a few times and move on to the next spot. After they have completed their "circuit training", over 100 fish have been caught and released. They are exhausted and exhilirated after another day on the water!! It is an impressive education I witnessed aboard their boat one afternoon. We have never seen so many trout caught in only a few hours. Our bay is slam full of trout. That's all I can say!
The first stop was a stone's throw from Grey Mare Rock. We drifted North toward the shore and points East. The tide was high allowing us to fish in areas that are unfishable at low tide. Overall, the depths of our drift were three to five feet at high tide. Fish were caught by Steve and Butch on every cast on many a drift. Jigs under a Cajun Thunder outfished topwater lures. The water temperature that day was 73°F. Today it is under 70°F.

Our circuit ended just South of Black Rock. Again, with a fish on every cast. Not by me though, because I was in a pure "research and development assignment" with this impressive display of "catching

As a matter of fact,Scott had some prototype GULP he gave us that day.
Most of them were caught on the GULP.
Four pounds was the best for the day.
Scott only reported accurately what he saw.
NO SHRIMP.

Don't be hatin - it's probably true!

Not to confuse things with common sense, but if you're drifitng, and using CT and Gulp, you can cast it out, jerk it a few times and wait until the current either moves the boat or the CT so far as to stretch the line back out, jerk it again...wash, rinse repeat...no sense reeling it in without a fish on it, so why not catch a fish on every cast?
