Great Weather, Good Fishing Part 2

Date Fished: 02/13/05 Water Temperature: 65 Water Clarity: Clean and Clear

The weather was even better 2/13, it was clear and sunny and not a hint of wind blowing from any direction. Me, Melissa and Weston had to drive all the way to Cos Way to get bait because everyone and their mother was out fishing and all the bait was gone early... The shrimp we got from Cos-Way was weak as hell, small shrimp with soft shells and an asshole working in the area where you get your bait. We tried fishing the pile-ons under the Oso Bay turnaround but quickly realized that nothing was hitting so we headed back to Oso Bay where we had fished the day before. The spot we had the day before was taken so we had to go a little farther down to get a spot. Fished bottom, popping cork and free-line but kept getting perch bites as soon as the shrimp hit the water. Just as the sun was going down the hits started getting a lot harder and noticed shrimp were being cut in half. Missed a couple of good hits but landed a 17 inch trout just as it was getting dark and only had three shrimp left. At least I caught a keeper and the weather was so nice I would have been happy either way... Can't beat a day like that.
