Afternoon Memorial Day trout ...

[jpd0144]

Fiancé and I decided on a last minute trip to Big Lake this afternoon. Glad we did. She doesn't fish but enjoys being out there ... And coloring lol. Figured I needed to head south with the way this year has been. Found a few birds working and caught a few smaller trout with only a couple keepers. After that played out we made a move and found better water and a gift ! A few cast later I noticed to my right there was shrimp jumping out the water and was watching trout busting them up. I immediately shut off my electronics and trolled around them and made a decent drift with the tide and wind moving with them being as quiet as possible. When it was all said and done and making a second drift I had my 15 and landed a good 25-30 there. Roughly 40+ for the afternoon. I don't get lucky like that often and ran back in wondering what did I do to deserve that !? A Little John made it easy to cast at distance and quick to release and get back in fast.
