Water: 78 Deg
Air: 80's and humid
Wind: calm
Tide: last half of outgoing
We decided to go out and give it a quick try after the fog burnt off this morning. The idea was to get out before the wind and rain rolled in (which we did) and get in before the low tide made it difficult to get the Nan back on the trailer (which we didn't).
Headed out to the oyster bars at the mouth of the OR.
Nancy hooked up right away with the ol' Cajun Thunder with a Trigger X shrimp. It was a nice 21" trout, one of the nicer ones she has caught this year.
I decided to just fish my bonk a donks today. The topwater, which I have had good success with and my new bonk a donk SS, which is an under water retrieve.
I caught a little red on it. And after making another pass, hooked up on this nice trout. The hooks are really sharp on this little lure, as there is still blood in the boat this morning (mine not his).
This little lure is dynamite. I hooked up on a couple of others, but they pulled off.
We went over to the 20 marker and Nancy caught another little trout and we decided to go back in and load the boat as the tide was getting pretty low.
That decision ended up with a trailer backed over the end of the ramp, me wading out to my chest, lifting the stuck trailer out of the water and getting help from some nice guys at the ramp winching the Nan onto the trailer without the trailer being in the water.
Glad it's a light metal boat.
It was a pretty productive 2 hour trip, although, in the end, quite wet.
