Big Lake 19th & 20th

[ckinchen]

Weekend report:

We fished offshore on both Saturday and Sunday given a good report that I received from Friday. We had several boats with us on the rigs both Saturday and Sunday. By the time we left on Saturday morning all of the boats were gone which should tell you the offshore bite was not good on Saturday. On the way in we started to fish the beach and we should have as the beach bite was great on Saturday. We did stop at the east side Jetty and put a few fish in the boat, overall I made a few bad calls on Saturday and cost us what should have been a great day.

On Sunday we gave the fish one more shot offshore, we caught tons of reds and drum which you cannot keep as far out as we were but only a couple of trout. It is a little early for that bite. Of course with the high south winds Saturday night the beach was muddy. We made our way in and fished a few reefs I like on the south end and began to get on a really good bite. We kept 44 trout and they lost at least 5-10 more, some quality fish.

When we made it to the camp Saturday night every camp had lights on, coming in on Saturday there were boats 5 wide in the ship channel. The pressure on this lake right now is intense.
