Fished Friday, 5-8 under lights with soft plastics. Managed a limit of nice trout with the biggest going 22". Thought to myself Saturday would be on.
Got to bed early Friday night and headed to the south shoreline of SLP Saturday Morning. The greenest water started about a mile east of the pass wading area but the water at the pass was decent looking. Winds were still kicking and the waves were definately there too. Saw bait everywhere, birds working all over the place. I was close to the green house too. Threw she dogs, catch 2000's, spook jr... It wasn't until later that a good friend reminded me to go larger on the bait to make more noise because of the waves. Anyway, no bites there. Went to guts... got a couple of hits but no big blow ups. Went to another spot I like further up the south shoreline and threw out the drift sock working the water in front of the boat. Managed a 21" trout. After another hour of no action parked at the geo tubes off Snake Island. Top water wasn't doing it this day so switched to soft plastics. Saw a HUUuuGE blow up. Unfortunately never got to see the culpret behind all that power. Day ended with only the 21" trout. Saw Robolo on my way in.
Saturday night under the lights I caught the remaining 9 trout and a 20" red. My wife wanted to fish and I could not get her to throw a plastic so I told her I'd buy some shrimp for Sunday and she could fish.
Sunday night under the lights she got a limit or trout. Her first limit!!! I caught a few in between netting and drinking beer. Oh, I got her to catch one trout on soft plastics so now she's determined to learn it since it was one of her better fish and I said "you'll get more quality fish in artificials". I may have made a monster hahahah
