We worked a little harder today & sorted thru a few more tui chub than trout.....BUT... 14.9lb 4 fish bag was a blessing. After the brief but big wind last night things changed up a bit this AM ... It took a while for the baitfish to rise but once they did, it was a feeding frenzy & we actually brought lines up a bit to 12-14ft (2 1/2-3 colors of leadcore from 3-3/4) & when the rod was ticking thru the boiling baitfish & roiling trout....get ready, something good is going to happen. Gold/red 1/4oz & 1/6oz red/gold Thomas Buoyant trolled at 1.9-2.4mph today (a bit faster). Locations change almost daily ......we started out right out of the gate where we've been doing great & had a 3.6# & 4 chubs & ended up on the west side near Wildcat Pt & Christie. 3 more trout & 4 more chubs & several hit & misses. Lol. Mixed bag but a lot of action. Tamara Spurgeon-Powell & we had sister Correne Bishop on deckhand duties!
