Trouting 8/05/07

Post by tin can »

Jumptrout and I met up at 5 this morning at Jerry's, got registered for the Team Seatrout tournament, and headed out.

I can't tell ya'll where we were, but I can tell you we were on fish. We had a limit by 7:05 this morning. The bite was steady until close to noon.

JT showed me a couple of interesting things today. He showed me that $40 worth of Gulp will catch a bunch of ladyfish. He also showed me half of what would have been our biggest fish of the day. A shark took the back half about 15 feet from the boat.

We weighed 2 in the 23" to 24" range, and had 3 more over 18" to go with them. That was enough to weigh us in at 11 lb. 2 oz., and secure 3rd place in the tournament.

Enjoyed a day of catchin, partner. :thumbup: :thumbup:
What was I supposed to do today?

Good deal! I had a shark do that twice last week. Both times were on little dink trout but still bad. I wonder what you can do to keep this from happening? I had a red about three weeks ago that a shark bit in two foot of water, also. Only scalloped his tail, but still sucked!

Good job men :thumbup: Guess JT51 ain't figured out yet that a shark will try to take a gulp away from a trout.... that one hit the trout by mistake :-D

Not that familiar with Team Sea Trout rules. I take it they don't follow the "one man limit" with respect to only one over 20"?

You are correct, SR. We weigh 5 trout, but a team of 2 can have 2 over 20".
What was I supposed to do today?
