Big Lake Muddy Water!!
 

Hey fellow fisherman, went to big lake today and most of the lake was muddy. Fished along the west side of the ship channel and only managed 17 trout but they were nice. The water in the channel was great.

Micah you should of potlick this guy

17 trout sounds good to me, good job!

ONLY 17 trout?!?!? I got 2 and 1 red. Good job. Conditions sucked.

Micah and Chris c...had a good day...as they ran south away from trout....there trout total was a round the word that starts with Z

Good total Exrpess21. Fishing the channel flats and drop offs, at the current water temps is the place to be.

We took lake chuck ducks trouts cause he didn't wanna keep them..... Went and raped....like gang raped w's holes until it was loose...... Nothing......ended the day with 2 reds & 2 specks

Hey Jordan, you forgot to mention that I caught both those trout right in front of your face. Like 20 feet away. Gotta pick you up some swim shad. jk, its was good meeting you and I enjoyed the mornin hangin out even though the fishin wasnt very good.

xpress21 your first post and you had 17 trout you better post pics are it didnt happen.......................

I know two guys who caught good today......One had 29 and one 32....both with 3 in boat

One of 'em is Poxy? :cool:

No lol. They had about 50 red drum

only 17 trout? i've only caught one or two undersized trout in big lake :cry:

Sorry we are not all as good as the KING. F-ing douche bag!!!

I call bullshat on all big numbers of trout yesterday! The tide didn't move til later in the day and by that time the wind was howling from the south. Up north (aka " where the trout are") looked like chocolate milk when the tide started to move.

LMAO...where is the love wrap around :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Tide moved all day...morning was the best...from 7am to 2pm.... over 1ft half...:shaking::shaking::shaking:

Only 5 trout Saturday but the boat drifting to the left of us smoked em

And I'll bet Brad caught every one of em

:*****: :*****: :*****: :*****: :*****:

That's "reach around".

Caught 10 trout, 4 reds, and a flounder in Prien Lake yesterday afternoon. Water was not as clear as it was the weekend before. Dang wind was WHIPPIN! Had a 12 yr old with us who has never really fished, had to watch out for hooks flyin:eek: and that wind multiplied that 10-fold. Caught enough trout for them to eat and went to some sheltered water and caught some reds. Had to end up putting a circle hook on for the kid and he finally caught a redfish - the drifting and slack in the line was not too favorable for him. Heard it was SLICK that morning out there though. Will post some pics later, but buddy caught a 35+ lb 'W' (black drum) on 12 lb test, got drum slime all up in the boat:cry:

LMAO!!!

what is 1ft half is that a NASA term? All I know is all morning when we were potlicking your hole, my boat did not move - i.e. if the tide was moving you must have put some NASA force field around my boat. :p Fog set in, so we had little choice but to stay put.

I admit we got skunked on trout, but we caught reds till our hands hurt and it sure beat a day in the office :)

In the Big Lake area a rising tide often does not = moving water, except in the lower part of the ship channel and in the washout/9 mile cut areas. That area usually has good water movement.

On a rising tide......it is more like the ship channel is "blocked" creating a dam like effect. When the ship channel is "blocked" the water upstream has no where to go so the lake level starts to rise.

When the tide shifts to a falling tide.....then it is more like a "bath tub" effect.....and the water drains out.

One would think that W would know this. :cool:

On a hard fast moving tide I would agree...but a steady incoming will move...and up North you will notice the movement in Turnners bays.. you will get a push from Texaco or straight up West bank.

Falling tide will move everywhere.....
