Yeah I was aware of that. I went to ABC this afternoon and nobody was getting anything, chatted with one friendly dude who mentioned that someone told him they weren't stocking ABC until tomorrow because of the weekend event. I drove home and on the way past VRC I didn't feel like going home yet so I swung by JC pond to see if it was mega-crowded. Only a handful of folks on the north side, mostly not catching anything although one family's little boy caught his limit while I was there, and another guy had a nice 16"+ fish on a stringer. I went to the south side with a sliding weight, 5' leader, and two lemon-lime color power eggs, and caught my limit of keepers in 5 or 6 casts - they were literally taking it before it hit the bottom. I was casting into the wind pretty heavily to where I'd been sticking a second sliding weight on a swivel to see if it'd help with distance, but started catching fish before I could get the swivel on the weight!
I think the fact that I used two eggs (first slid up and covering the leader-to-hook knot) it gave it way more bouyancy whereas I usually just use 1 and suspect it doesn't really pick up off the bottom enough. Didn't even lost either egg.
All keepers, one shorty 10" and the rest all about 12". Made my day because I haven't caught my limit of trout in a dog's age.
Maybe I'll check out ABC early Saturday, but I have to eat all these fish now since they all tried to both swallow and poo out the double-power-egg hook, and they were all keepers that I didn't want to toss back in to die.
