Dukie his son Peter and his son in law Lang and old fishing buddy Vincent had a great day down in Hopedale. We started right off on the trout but the bite quit early around 8:00 am. After a few stops picking off a few at each the bite turned on again at the rigs in 8 ft of water at 10:00 am. Live shrimp 3 ft under corks and the trout were eating them up. Well the heat set in and and the bite stopped just before noon but not before the guy’s had a box full of some nice trout 2 to 3 lbs and one big red that Vincent caught with someone else’s broken leader and hook in his mouth. AWESOME DAY! Dukie comes in from the Mobile AL area at least a couple of times a year for several years now and we always have a great time and a lot of laughs and catch a lot of fish to.
The fishing has really turned on big time this past week. I still have couple of open dates and the rest of the summer is going to be great. If you would RATHER BE FISGING give me a call and get in on the action.
