Took a couple workmates to the favorite spot today,we ended up the day with 15 keeper trout,2 14in flounders a blue and 1 rock bass,fished 5 ft of water,temp was 76* favorite style was a Electric chicken under a CT,very warm and a little choppy but not too bad at all.Largest fish was 24 smallest was 18.5 Only downside to the day was the one that got away

I was trolling a rather large dead pinfish behind the boat when the largest trout Ive ever seen gave me one hellova fight,got her to the side of the boat after about a 10 minute fight but the net was too small to land her,fish had to of been 30+ inches long after trying a couple times to land her with the net she rolled and threw the hook.I was sick.That was one for the trophy room.

Maybe next time. [/b]

That's a heck of a box of fish.
I know how you feel about the big one. I've lost thousands of them.

So where exactly is that secret spot?.........

Any luck on other colors? How long a leader?

Isn't that the way it goes - the largest always is the one that got away! Sounds like a great day!
Thanks for sharing

We also used Candycorn and New penny,thats about the only three I throw. The leaders were about 24 inches long.Electric chickens were getting more strikes by far,some floating grass and the green looked more natural in it to me.
