my friend julie and i were heading out saturday to west matty. the fog was so incredibly bad we put the boat back on the trailer and went back to selkirk. we put the boat in the river and started drifting. about 5 minutes into the drift julie hooks up on a nice 17 inch spec. i put on a topwater and picked up it's twin. i had a few blow ups and had a great blow up and landed a nice 21 inch trout. the bite died. we repeated the same drift thinking we were out of the zone but a small front had just hit and they turned off. we went to west bay and made a circle and came back, the wind was more than i felt like dealing with. we drifted the diversion and i picked up another barely keeper trout. 4 trout total, but we're just happy they're hitting topwaters again. water temp, 65 degrees. come on spring.
the interesting part of the trip was some guy who managed to run his 20 ft kenner up on the bank of the river. i idled up to him and asked him how in the hell he did that? he said he was messing w/ a plug in the back of the boat and lost control. there was no part of his boat in the water. i tied off to his boat and pulled him back into the river. it happened in front of my sister's pier so my family was there watching and laughing.
