Dink friday 8-5-16

["W"]

It is plum stupid the amount of little trout

You can than the morons who pushed that 15 trout limit

This is the downfall and repercussions of it!

Too many trout !! Lake is over populated with dinks

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 !

I do wonder if the electronics being on makes a difference.

I don't really know for sure ... But I do the same while bass fishing. Especially in shallow water or at night. I try not to let compartment doors slam, run TM more than need be, make sure when getting down from front deck not to thump down on floor, drop pliers, Ect Ect ....

I'd imagine in the ship channel say around 210/10 or right around the ferry crossing in Cameron it may not matter as much as in the lake. Those places seem to have constant motors running and banging going on.

Or I'm just too OCD

My cousin from Deatonville said the rod and reel anglers have no influence on the population but he is a couyon

You all should be glad you have excuses like the weirs and the trout limit to blame when you have slow days. Us vermilion bay anglers have nothing to point the finger at
