I was throwing about everything I had: Skitterwalks, Mirrolure suspending twitchbaits, a Terminator in-line weedless spinner, a Rapala X-rap, leadhead jigs and tails, etc., but with no luck. Meanwhile, Doc and Litt were having fun hauling in rat reds, short trout, and jack crevalles on Strike King plastics. Sooo-I finally gave it up and borrowed a couple of what they had, and almost immediately began hauling in my share of short trout and jacks! I mean when the trout are barely longer than your lure, you know it's a slow day!

Howsomever, the jacks, although small as well, at least had the potential to give you a bit of a sleigh ride. I caught three and made certain to set the hook (I thought) really well, but as soon as they got close to the yak, they spit and split. Here is a pic of Litt with one of his jacks-they all seemed to be about the same size, as were the trout.

So, a nice day to be on the water, even though the catching was not all that great. But y'all know the standard fisherman's mantra-a slow day fishing is still better than any day at work!
