3" TROUT

Post by FUTCHCAIRO »

I HAVE CAUGHT SEVERAL 3-4" TROUT OVER AROUND MASHES SANDS, BOTH HIT A MIRR-O-LURE PUPPY DOG ON TOP WATER. RIGHT AFTER THAT I THOUGHT I HAD CAUGHT ANOTHER WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LURE WAS GONE, THINK IT WAS A SHARK. A FEW MINUTES LATER I HAD A TROUT THAT LOOKED ABOUT 20" ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL I HAD WAS THE HEAD.

I bet can catch smaller trout than you can. :D
Go out in late summer & get em' less than a 1/2" long with a fine mesh seine net.
Works great, but I can't tell you where. :wink:
(sorry, I don't have any photos so you'll just have to take my word for it)
