v. bay sals
 

Well, I finally got my water problems fixed from last night and got my water back on,and my wifes happy again.:) My son and I took a quick afternoon trip yesterday to the bay. The weather was fine at home,but started getting uglier the closer we got to the landing. We left the landing with it sprinkling and fished our first spot for 10 minutes then the deluge came. Headed to our second spot,quit raining but still no fish(water still kinda dirty). Finally hit our third spot and after about 20 minutes caught our first nice speck. For about the next 30 minutes the action was good then it tailed off. Ended up with 5 nice specks,4 really nice specks and 1 red. We headed back in around 6,because the thunderstorms were piling back up and heading for us. It was a fantastic day for the two of us,especially to watch my son pull in his biggest speck ever of 5lbs.I was giggling and laughing like a nervous little school girl trying to net his fish. We had 1- 6lb.,1 -5.5 lb., and 2- 5lbs. We lost some more big ones at the boat,and I had one I never could get to the top and got off under the boat. We caught them all on chubs and rattle traps. Was thinking about going back again this afternoon,but it looks like its gonna stay pretty windy today. Dont want to be greedy,but I gots the fever worse now. Lol.

nice trout man

nice fish and nice pics... keep up the good work guys !!!!!

Great catch man,glad your son got a big one thats what its all about. Did yall stay in the bay?

yep didnt go far, didnt really want too either with all of the bad weather everywhere.

I hear ya...I might go out sunday if the wind/weather isnt too bad. Great catch man thats some sals alright.

good catch looked like some fun...

awesome fish man!! I hope i can get on some fish like that this weekend!

What kind of rattle traps ya'll throw? Thats one of my favorite bass baits lol I'd love to smoke some trout on them lol

The one ive had the best luck with is a avacado green with bone colored bottom. Academy in lafayette sells them...

a regular rattle trap or a different kind like the red eye ones or something.. The bass love the red eye ones. They sink beautifully

I belive its the saltwater version....no red eyes....

i'm going check that out! lol I wish they'd like some bandit crankbaits lol never really tried them for long but i might have too lol I can't wait to get there this weekend with all these monster trout being caught

We were using kinda a bone/silver whith chartreuse back,mainly cause the water wasnt that pretty.

Ive caught them before on the bandits. Ill fish the baby 1 minus sometimes too around the reefs.

Hopefully that front wont mess it up too bad with the high pressure and wind.:pissed:

yeah thats a good little cranker... loud as hell lol Man ya'll did good out there. I hope we get some good fish like that

niiiiiice

Der ya go
 

Dats what I'm talkin' about. Great catch...and nobody out there tried to fish in your ice chest??? Couldn't have been Vermillion Bay!!!:shaking:

we had a couple,but they were just not biting for them.lol

Enjoy them and release them....
 

Not trying to rain on your parade of nice fish, but why not throw those big trout back to fight another day? Those fish have good genetics, hence why they're so healthy. I know you're allowed 2 over 25" in LA, but those fish should go back in if not harmed. Besides, smaller fish are better eating than those 5 pounders. I'm sure I'll get a lot of heat because of my comments. Oh well, just my opinion....
