Well we had our annual TTT trout tournament this past saturday. I fished around the rocks to the south of the park all day. Started throwing topwater religiously for those big trout but didn't have a single bite. Around 10am I see some people outside the rocks catching every few minutes so I paddle out and start drifting throwing a glow/chartreuse shrimp. I pick up my first three in about 15 min. I grab a glow corky broke back and fling it out and snatch up a nice 2-3lb trout. After about 30-40 minutes without a bite I see a boat next to me catch 4 trout on four straight casts, and I hear the guy say "electric chicken". I grab my bait box remembering that last month I bought a bag of H&H electric chicken minnow for 99 cents. I put it on and immediately start putting fish in the boat. I sat in that one spot for about one hour just loading up my ice chest till a boat drifted right through my area that I was casting in and when they did not catch they cranked up their big motor and scared the fish off. I then move closer to the rocks, almost right in between them and start throwing away to the out side. I picked up a quick 3 and missed 2 really nice trout. I left them biting only because of the tournament, I really think I could have sat there and caught one more limit of trout. I ended up with 21 trout with only 2-3 13" trout, the rest were averaging 15-16".
