8/5/09 Big Lake Topwater Smash
 

Hunting Fool and I had one HELL of a trip today......We started off on a reef and boated 28 of our 30 trout limit on topwater....This was FOOLS 1st topwater trip!!!! After 20 blow ups or so he got the hang of it!!!!

Next we hit the channel and it was even better!!!! We Tagged and released 32 trout( 5 over 20inches.......)

On the way in Fool said: You know what would top this off! I said what .....He said Pink Dolphin..... Well guess what.....BOOM there she was......She played around the boat for 30mins as we took pics and video her!!!! (Awesome day)..........

Great job! I was thinking about going this weekend. Did ya'll catch the fish right at daylight or did they hit topwater on into the morning?

Awesome catch guys.

Catching fish on topwater is a blast isint it?

This ain't right... :(

Sick trip.

Looks like yall had a hell of a trip,I was stuck working.......Maybe one day one of yall can show me around the lake,getting tired of vermillion bay.

Nice mess of fish! Who are you tagging fish for? How did you get into tagging?

Beautiful catch guys. Fool finally put him on some fish. lol

great catch guys
 

very nice catch.i also caught my first speck on top water last sun.i am going out after work tomorrow.once again very nice catch.congrats on you tourny fool last sat.thanks for the help.:)

"W".....I had a good day but not as good as yours. Guess I should have followed you when I saw where ya'll were headed.

I started out over near the 8 mile cut. Lots of boats there and most were catching a few trout.....some were small. I caught several 14" to 16" trout near the ship channel. There was almost no tide movement.....but when it did start going out some, it lost the good green color and the bite slowed down.

I went along the south end of the lake.....water was better and I fished several slicks and picked up a few more trout and a good Red. In the afternoon the wind picked up a little and the trout got active. At one time I had 4 trout on the floor of the boat.

I tried Topwater early....but only got a few blowups and no fish. Got a few hits [Lady fish ?] with a catch 2000. I guess I should have tried the Topwater when the trout were hitting in the afternoon.

I kept a limit of trout and released a few more.

Mr. G.... I told FOOL if I knew how to find you or your cell number....I would have call you over...........WE could not buy a trout a sand eel this morning.. all they wanted was topwater......Dont see that very much....It was Awesome

i did lose a flounder at the boat aswell :grinpimp:

Great catch guys....Damn workin' sux!!!!!!!!!!

w you get my text

Nice catch and pics.... probably go out Friday .......depends on how good the beers are going down tomorrow night at a camp I got invited to on the lake by heberts

Mr. Gerald nice meeting you this morning, glad you got on some fish....ray how long you at work for???

It would be very hard to call me.......I am just too oldfashioned, and don't have a cell phone. I saw where you were headed.....were there many boat in that spot early? A little after 7 AM, I counted 16 boats.....and this is Wednesday. Can't imagine how many there would be on a weekend.

I use to have a "bag" phone. That phone would pickup a signal anywhere. I would take it with me hunting and fishing. The antilog signal phones were discontinued about a year ago.

I spent to much time by 9 mile cut today. I should have moved much sooner.

Likewise Fool.......

2 weeks.:pissed:

Mr G!! We did not have a boat in site of us this morning!!!! The whole area to our selves!!!! We had on guide boat swing by but he did not stop!!!

Just give me a call buddy and its on for you.:)

I might have to go again soon........after I recover from the beating of the sun and heat today.

Did you ever see my white/blue umbrella. Without some shade, I would have been going in before Noon?

good catch guys. Got to love that topwater hu.Fool whats that picture with the sand eel. :spineyes:

caught and tagged 32 fish all on eels.

I saw you were still out there when we got back in about 1...

Awesome trip! I am so jealous right now...
