Magic Act!

11.11.13

68 degree water temp

We wanted to go to K Tower again in the "1" foot waves promised by NOAA.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

We did finally work our way out around the barge at the 24 marker.

We were able to catch these:

And turn them into these:

YUMMY!!

And They Are Still There

11.10.13

Water Temp: 68 degrees

We wanted to go back and see if the trout were still on the bar where we left them, so we took the tin boat out Sunday for a couple of hours.

The tide was outgoing and on the last couple of hours of low tide.

I didn't have as much hope, as the fish were biting on the incoming tide last week.

But, we caught them real well.

Not as big as last week, but 11 came boat side.  All were in the 14" to 16" category and all went back into the water as we have enough at home to keep us in fish tacos for a while.

They were biting where the water was the swiftest coming across the bar.

I was catching them on a jig head tipped with a Wave Worm Tiki Shaddick in Chartreuse.  I had these in my bass box and was trying them in the pond.  The bass ate them, so I decided to try them on trout and they ate them up.

After using them for a while, I switched to a 3" Gulp Guppy in new penny and that finished off the day.  You can see the oyster bar in the background of the picture below.  That is how clear the water has become.

Nancy was catching them on the good ol' white gulp shrimp.

The fish are absolutely beautiful currently.  The water has cleared up and the fish are all regaining their natural colors.

Not bad for a couple hours of fishing.
