Solid day on the stream. Caught my PB best Fallfish, never saw one this size it fought like a trout lol Next cast was a 15 inch+ smallie. I cast in that spot a good 8 times before they bit. Persistence pays off, so does knowing landmarks that always produce. View attachment 5313

IMG_2696 copy.jpgThis is the Lake where last year I was practicing catching suspended fish. It was fun than and what we did today was funerer! Melvin made up simple and effective worm rigs. Not sure the name of the hook style but they worked above that was a spinner blade and an assortment of different beads and thingydingys. These were installed on 3-4' of what he described as Floro Leader of about 10 or 12 lb rating. It took a bit of coordination on Melvins part but we were able to troll these worm rigs as deep as 30-40 ft (Usually much less). We mostly caught trout and that is an unusual thing for me as I mostly fish Bass and Panfish waters. Freezer is filling up slowly.

Why would anyone waste their time?

Why? Because of the desire to please loved ones that are sketchy at eating fish. The more the fish look “Factory Built” the more loved ones will tolerate them. I fillet everything. I prefer unfileted for grilling. For panfish I prefer gutted and scaled and broiled. But then only I will eat then.
I also brine most trout. These were. One part sugar and two parts salt. Coat and refrigerate overnight. Rinse the next day and soak for an hour or two. Do this three times. The meat is then firm and tasty.
