I have only been fishing big lake for a couple of years. I am becoming a fresh water to inshore cross over guy ... But for now Wed evening I ran into what I would consider two different magnum size schools of trout pushing shrimp to the surface. No birds over them and just me and the fish with no electronic pings in the water (shut electronics off) and minimal troll motor taps to steer only as I was up wind of them. I was trying to be stealth as possible. I was able to work them for a bit before they stopped/moved . It was kinda fast action with little johns to land 3-4 short trout then a occasional lady fish hit then back to short trout. So I tried to fish behind or to the side of the school a bit in hopes of a bigger bite but didn't work. Either no bite or same size trout. Drove me nuts to have so many fish around me with no keepers !
