Hopedale LA.Trout Slam

Mike, Brad, Bo and Rick were my crew today part of a 6 boat trip Saturday. We started out looking for the big trout I had been catching but the tide was not moving much early and the big girls were not home. Made a few moves getting on decent bite but the fish got small. Headed further out and hit pay dirt. Pulled up on a small flock of birds throwing tandem rigged sparkle beetles nice trout with few throwbacks. The guy’s were having a blast pulling them in two at a time. We had trout all over the floor of the boat in no time. By 9:30 we were limited out on speckled trout. Headed for the marsh to try the reds. Hit a few points with shrimp under corks did the trick topping off the box with some grilling size reds. At the last spot Brad must have caught 20 undersize reds in a row every cast he was having a ball. It was great day on the water dodged a few thunderstorms on the way in staying dry all the way to the dock, Great group of guy’s ands a lot of fun.
