I now know why I normally dont fish opening weekends, but still chasing ghosts and blanking for steel Josie and I decided to hit up some trout fishing. We got there around 7 knowing that it was gunna be crowded and if we wanted a good spot on the dock had to be there early! As we walked to the moo dock there were only 2 guys who we're leaving as we arrived so I grabbed the most productive spot, this being a bobber show 80% of the time for us it was time to get serious about the trout magnet ( 1/64th oz jig heads pair with 1" grubs). So I chose a color I knew more then likely the fish hadn't seen, wing it out there and 2 mins later bobber down set the hook and crap missed him.......ooooo there it goes again wham! nada again! So that was irritating and was trying to figure out why i missed them couldnt figure it out as first them 30 mins go by bobber down this time I waited till it was total under for a few second set the hook fish on! land a lil chunk 12" (Josie had gone to the truck so she missed it ).
Time goes on and same thing was having a hard time setting the hook thought I figured it out when I landed 2 fish back to back and handed two to Josie all within 10 mins thinking oooo yea! Everyone else on the dock now swarmed with people were not having the luck I was. Still trying to figure this hook set thing out my bobber drifted in a ways and right when I grabbed my rod dink dink ooo I look and can see the fish attacking the bait. Seeing what was happening I was surprised the fish was able to grab the bait swim about a foot before I even saw the bobber move, :yikes:Houston we found the problem! So my review of the Trout Magnet thing works awesome but need to rig up as they say with there bobber (more of a strike indicator IMO) one BB size shot and 2lb line. My problem is not having that lil more weight casting distance drops a lot so that's something to work out but over all it was hard to beat my result.
Best day number wise I've had for trout in a couple years usually Josie catches them all! So it was nice to get the 3 awards for the day First fish, biggest fish, and the most fish! Just a fluke in the force I am sure, but got 7 out of our 10 limit and a beautiful day on the lake now back to chasing ghosts for awhile lol!
