10.16.11 Not a Bad Day on Big Lake

[BaseballFisherman]

Didn't do anything special today. The wind was blowing this morning so we just played bumper boats with the rest of the crowd and chased birds. It was a little frustrating chasing them all day because we would only pick up 1 or 2 fish on each flock. Thats the most flocks of birds I have ever fished in a single outing and we couldnt get on a good bite on any of them....at least 25 different flocks. Now the white trout were a different story....we caught them almost every cast under the birds. I estimate we caught at least 100 sandies today and they were all about 8 inches long. Once the wind switched directions and layed down a little bit around noon, we ventured into the lake and picked up 10-15 of our better sized fish over a couple reefs. You could have thrown anything under the birds today but I stuck to a sparkle beetle and my guys threw Tsunami Swim Shads. All in all a fun day on the water.
