Early Day Off Work Hit The Lake
Got off work early and the wife and kido's are off on vacation, time to hit the water for some quality time to myself. I no longer had to share the yak so i had tons of room with no fear of breaking a rod or loosing something overboard. I have a new plan and some new baits. I picked up some small flat side cranks from DUO to try out and they worked awesome. I am not a big fan of rapala shad raps and this was what i was going to try as the alternative. I am very happy with the result. I dont know that i would fish these in an area with pickerel as they are not a cheap option, but in Washington there not around so i will continue to rock the crap out of these little jewels. Nine rainbow trout of decent size in about 3 hours and i was doing way better faster than the bait guys. I had several that i did not land, including a fish i estimate to be about three pounds. I should have been using a moderate speed rod, but i did not have one with me. The hooks are very small and i had a few fish throw the lure when they went airborne. Live and learn
