Trolled hybrids

[Bruce Litton]

Hope the photo posts.

Matt and I caught 10 hybrids yesterday, five of them about as big as this one that weighed 5 pounds, 9 ounces, five others around 15-17 inches besides one smaller. Trolled on plugs. On all of the big pond, out there in driving rain going on five hours, we never saw another boat.

Enough with trying to upload a shot.

Here's the link. Hate to post my blog, because most of you don't care to read my personal stories, and I understand that, but if it's a pain for me to send a picture your way, forget it. You can see two pictures: www.littonsfishinglines.blogspot.com

My biggest weighed five pounds, 15 ounces, a slight disappointment, because I hoped this biggest one I've caught yet would go over six. Have caught many others five and better, but none bigger yet than this one I mention from yesterday. You see a lot of pictures, yeah, but though I really don't know how much time other guys put in to get those seven, eight, nine-pound freight trains, I figure that, mostly, it does take some doing.

Love trolling plugs for them.

having your own blog puts you way ahead of the game for posting pictures here on NJF because you don't have to upload them here. you can just link to the pictures you already have on your website.

start by getting the address of one of the medium sized pictures from your blog that you want to post here on NJF. with chrome you can right click on the picture and choose "Copy image address", in IE you can right click on the picture, choose Properties and then select and copy the text by "Address (URL)"

then here on NJF just press the http://www.njfishing.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif button above where you type when you are making a post, paste that address into the dialog that pops up and it will put the link in your post for you. pretty easy! no image size restrictions!


OR, to do it manually, paste the address for the image in between IMG tags
in between the ][
so for example the address for the picture of you is https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2zmJK0J7ZGw/WvzgFqfVcEI/AAAAAAAALRA/KwUJaMsbqME61XahDT-nhQQ-IISboaVlQCLcBGAs/s640/78.jpg
so you want to do something like this, but use brackets instead of parentheses (i had to use parentheses so you could view the code and see what you need to put into a post)(IMG)https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2zmJK0J7ZGw/WvzgFqfVcEI/AAAAAAAALRA/KwUJaMsbqME61XahDT-nhQQ-IISboaVlQCLcBGAs/s640/78.jpg(/IMG)

Nice brids!

Looks like an awesome day.

The hybrids are biting good now. I just wish I could get more time on the water. This rainy weather and preparing to move out of my condo have really messed up my fishing schedule.

I was reading an article about how Hybrids are so tolerant to heat and low dissolved oxygen, they can actually be stocked in ponds. Maybe a better alternative to trout that can't survive the summer in some lakes.
Here's the article:

Surprised, trolling you would think that another species besides hybrids would hit, funny how that works. Nice birds !

Great stripes!

Nice hybrids Bruce! I went out looking for them at state park last night but got the skunk. Could hear big fishing breaking the surface but a little out of casting distance

lol I may try it, but I am embarrassingly bad technically. It's a wonder I can use my camera, and that not well enough.
