Headed out of the river about 3:30 p.m. with Fish Masterson, and his best girl following. We got separated shortly after we started fishing, but it didn't seem to matter. Both boats did well. The boat I was on had 10 keeper trout (3 over 20"), a 27' red (a product of yours truly), and a 26" red, when we got back to the hill. The trout hit on hard baits, as well as soft baits, in 5' all the way to the shore line. Reds were caught on spoons.
Fish Masterson did well also, with the high light of his afternoon being a caught and released 28" red. Normally I would call b.s., but he had proof of the fish, courtesy of his digital camera.
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
FMasterson caught his while fishing for trout. We actually stopped fishing for trout, and headed futher inshore to target reds. Sun was getting low, and we had hoped the wind would lay down to throw some topwater. Wind never cooperated, so we opted for spoons.
It's a shame when you have to photo-document your fishin trip just so your so called pals will believe you .
By the way I was targeting FISH, whether red, blue, yellow, or any other color. I just happened to catch only Reds, and Trout.

P.S. Here is the "proof", sorry for the crude pic but my "best girl" isn't much of a picture taker.
