Fools 1st Sand Eel trout
 

Fool put the 1st trout of the day in the boat!!!! Here is his 1st of many Sand Eel trout!!!:smokin:

can we start a fundraiser to get w a new boga?

[SIZE=6]HOW ABOUT A NET~~~~:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:[/SIZE]

Hey "W", I've got 3 nets.... do you need to borrow one until the fund raiser is over?

What size do you need? Medium or small?

he only needs a small..the W trout are 12 inchers :*****:

LMAO.....As long as I got Fool in the boat...He can lip em!!! Someone took my net about a month ago out of my boat and I never remember to buy a new one!!!!...I have it on the to do list!!!!!:)

No problem man. Did you catch any on them?

nope. i almost tried them at the barrier today..but decided not to

did you catch anything at the barrier? water's probably pretty fresh with the rain we've been getting.

no fish..tide was pourin out..but no fish. i fished that long grass bank for reds, minnows was on top getting blow ups..but i couldt catch!!!!

only thing i caught was logs..lost 3 leadheads:pissed: i hate fishin around there b/c of that

Last time I went to the barrier the water was really flowing out of the gates so I pulled up to about 30ft from them thinking I would do some drifting back out to the channnel...WRONG! Stupid water sucked me right up against the gates and I had to crank my outboard to keep from getting stuck in the flow! I ran out to work the rocks across from there and watched 2 other guys go up and do the same thing!

My gramps and I used to throw gold spoons all along those grassy banks and usually pick up several trout in the late summer. I even caught a 30" red one day about 50ft off the bank. Even caught an occasional striper doing this.

When you are refering to "Grassy banks" near the SWB, is this the area just a south across from the camps?

If so, I did very good there about a year ago using an inline spinner bait. The Red fish loved that bait. They litterly tore it up. I had to put a new hook and soft plastic on it. I caught a couple more on the bait......but not like when it was new.

Don't cast too close to the bank.....way to many stumps underwater.
