Fishing...

Fishing was Good...not Great...but Good...
As usual I fished the Hookup Baits for 80% of the time in the kayaks...we had days with 4 to 20+ fish/day and only a couple of really slow days...at the end of the trip the water calmed down to really beautiful conditions each evening...so we ate dinner early so we could out for the evening glass off

I also used the lead core line setup and the down rigger for some mid day trolling at 25' to 35'. The Tasmanian devil produced 4 beautiful Browns one day with two of em at 16"......the split back Rapalla or Thomas Boyant didn't even get hit for me this trip...

The 1/32 Black Gold with the crawdad sauce was the go-to for me for most of the fish...although I used the yellow and white a few times on the dead stick...we ended up the trip using the 1/16 Chub color for the last few days of the trip and it really paid off... the last fish of the trip was this 5.8 pound beauty...probably a "holdover" with it's perfect fins and tail...
