Decided to take the day off and go fishing for a change (I can believe in). Haven't done so since August of last year. Called up my buddy Raymond and we hit the Ecky around 7am Friday morning. 1st boat there :wink: Ran out the mouth and east towards Rock Island. Stopped in 2 ft. and started throwing topwater. Just short blowups, but no hook ups. Switched to suspending twitchbaits, and it was on! Trout after trout. Then reds.....BIG ones. By 9am, we had 4 nice reds in the live well along with 10 trout :o Decided to check my phone and saw where BBG was trying to get ahold of me. I got through to him and told him to come where the fish were. Luckily, he found us and was able to get a shot of a few reds.....I forgot my camera due to being rusty from such a long time off :roll:

We had good water movement all day and continued to catch and release fish till we left. Off the water @ 2pm. Ready to go again....

TOTAL FOR THE DAY: 4 reds (24"-26.999999"), 10 trout (17"-24")

Nice reds Tom! Glad you took the day off and got out there.

Thanks again for your work on my boat a few weeks ago. Anyone looking to have their boat detailed should call Tom. I have a "new" boat thanks to him. Thanks for the report.
