Midnight Madness II

We made another trip down to west bay Wednesday night to get some meat for the freezer. The East wind was blasting and it was making fishing tough, but we managed twenty one nice trout and a dozen throw backs. All fish were caught on purple chartreuse tail Mirror lure soft plastics and pumpkin seed with chartreuse tail. Once again the preferred retrieve was a slow steady reel with a light twitch every so often. I wasn’t able to take a lot of pictures due to the sporty conditions on the water but I did get one of the ice chest full of fish and Cody holding the first fish of the night. If anyone from Mirror Lure is reading this I just want to say you make the toughest soft plastics I have ever used. I have used the same lure on two trips and caught around forty fish on it and its good for another trip or two.

Midnight Madness

We launched the yaks around three o’clock to catch the evening bite and picked up a few 16”-18” trout and some ret reds. After the sun set the big girls came out to eat. We caught three trout over 20” and a red that went 23”. At eight o’clock we decided to go grab a bite to eat and wait for the outgoing tide. Around midnight we got back on the water and it was feeding time. The bite to cast ratio was about one out of five and the hookup ratio was about one out of three. The tally for the night was around thirty trout with ten over 20” and half of those were over 25”. Fish were caught on plum chartreuse TTF straight tails and glow mirror lures. All fish were set free to fight another day.
