Didn't hit the water until around 7:30 but man did we hit it at the right time. 1st cast I had a fish with a limit following there shortly. Took my brother-in-law, an east side fisherman, and it took him a while to catch on, but once he did he was grinning like a possum eating nuts! His first Big Lake trout was a nice 5lber. I am always iffy on colors, but I started the day trying out the Bubble Yum and had 14 fish in the box before my b-in-law had one. He switched from a dark color to the Pink/glow bait once he found my stash and finished respectably as we had our limit by 9:00.

With our early limit in hand the b-in-law wanted a red hole and I obliged by taking him to the wiers after stopping to get C. Edwards and his (future) b-in-law. An hour later we had 2 limits of reds in tow and called it a day.

PLEASE be careful out there as the water is extremely low, especially coming out of Heberts. It's about 1ft. deep a half mile out from Hebert's on in, and the landing depth wasn't even reading on the depth finder. I saw things sticking out of the water that looked like Stone Henge in places we normally run wide open

All fish were caught in waist deep water... Pics to come later.

Here's a pic of the carnage. I have been fortunate to have some good trips this year, but as size goes, this trip was by far my best overall stringer.

Nice feeeesh!

Going Wed/Thu. Was the water low all day or just in the AM? Looks like tide's are supposed to be rising in the PM.....

Where you saw Stonehenge? Need more info!

Winds have been out of the south to day......water level should be back up to normal soon.

I was off the water by noon so I can't say for sure, but everyone i spoke too said it has been down all day. Put it like this, have had waders where i have been fishing the past few weeks who have been in chest deep water. sunday they were walking in the same spots in almost ankle deep water.

keith, you should be fine, but i doubt you could get into your redfish hole
