First of all a BIG thank you goes out to Josh for hooking me up on an awesome trip. Thanks bro!
We met at a 7-11 and then drove to the launch to meet the guide. I think Nick, the guide, thought we were nuts for wanting to go out, but he agreed to go out. He and josh had full rain suits and I had swim trunks, a dry loc shirt and crocs. The trip out to calmer water was fuggin rough.
Nick had us throwing topwater plugs, his one and only plan to hopefully get us on fish. I would have never thought top water in those conditions, but when you have a pro you listen. Bam fish on right away!
We worked a long stretch of shore and were able to stay sheltered at times. The fish seemed to prefer the windy water. We had tons of hits and misses and plenty of hook ups. We also doubled up on reds at the end. Both the trout and reds were highly aggressive.
I pretty much felt like a wet sock and I hit the jacuzzi when I got back.
I prepared the fish for dinner and it was absolutely perfect. This is a trip that I won't soon forget. Oh and you were missed Dale!
