Had the day off so went to Hemenway at o:dark thirty in my tube in the am. Didn’t get my first fish til after 8 am. A 2lber that hit a pencil popper. The next was 30 min. later. A 9lb 4oz. that hit a deep diving x-rap. I was using a lighter pole and 12lb test. It was a vertical battle for about 10 min. with him spinning me in circles. After the plant all the trout headed down the beach where I saw another guy get a 12 lber. I went to Boulder and got two more on a bomber long A and three on 'chovies. The wind came up real quick and called it a day. I was hoping to get my first double digit for the year. I think he is close enough ; thats a 54 quart cooler he is in..
What a great day on the water you had! The big one looks pretty good, not skinny. Sounds like it took you for a ride. Nice report.

Sweet! That must have been something else to hook up into her with a tube. Congratulations, it really makes we want to get out there as well.
Right on bro! It’s been years since I hit Mead. You said that you caught your first one on a pencil popper, would this be a hard bait that stands vertical in the water until slapped? Please send me a pm, I’ve been looking for a bait like this.
Good job BigE. I just ordered a 8’ pontoon today. sure ill se you out there sometime.
Good Job on the stripes.
that big one is nice and fat, not so skinny like some of them.
Great job. I bet that must have been a heck of a fight; you become a human bobber for a while.
Great man! Nice to hear of some action. Ive been landlocked for a bit here… just too damn busy with work going to all hours of the morning. Ill be out there chasing hogs again soon.
Good Job BigE
Thanks BaySport. There was really only one that was a little skinny. And yeah, it was a nice ride; though it was only in circles.
Thanks Demolitron,fsh4fun05,hogwrench,2nakiller,Dan79 and Whizzle. Itywas alot of fun in the tube. And alot of meat for the freezer and family. Hope to be out again this friday or saturday.
Hey Big E
Great Job!!! I was out over the weekend and only caught one 3 lber. I am still on the hunt for my big one for the year but time is running out.
