Good trout 5/12/11:

[AndyS]

Hit the High Bridge area this morning, C&R about 20, nothing huge, kept 6 for da smoker. Highlight was hooking into around a 14" brown and watched it shoot into the air 3 times in like 2 seconds before it spit the hook.
Ran into 2 other guys wading in sneakers and shorts.
Went for some deeper water around noon since the sun was blazing, hit Duke Island Park falls and glad I did. I got about 6 or 7 brook trout there, one of the old timers said he was there yesterday and helped put 8 net loads of trout at the falls, there are PLENTY of fish there. Did C&R at the falls since I had my limit in the car.
Ran down to Roberts St. for a quick one, nothing.
Funny fishing during the week, the people that I meet, most YOU HAVE TO TALK REAL LOUD, and I get to hear all the bi-pass and open heart surgery stories, great people, love to talk.
Found this bat, if Duffmans little slugger wants it, he can have it.

Trying to pass off a softball bat to a little leaguer??? Thats just wrong...

My wife looked at it closer when I got home, ooops, softball, sorry.
Hey, you WERE the first in line. My 2 boys played ball, I remember buying 2 bats, 1 @ $110.00 and the other @ $150.00

Sounds like a nice day of fishing. Nice looking trout. Good color. What was the bait or lure of choice?

Who says you need to hear to catch fish? I bet those old guys caught too. Every time I go to that falls there are men fishing for trout like catfisherman do. They have 1oz weights on, worms for bait. They cast their lines out and put them in Y sticks. Then wait all day for a bite. Drives me crazy!!!!!! Who the hell taught them that method. Real old school.

Who says ANY method is the RIGHT method ? If they want to fish with surf rods and 16 oz. weights with a worm so be it. Did you ever see the size of the carp up at the falls, allota 20 lb. + fish.
