...of the chances you don't take. Seriously! Keep a bait in the water at all times.
So my weekend started in Austin for a tennis tournament with the tamucc club team. We did pretty good and had plenty of fun. Rolled back into town around 10 last night and just wanted to sleep. BUT the weather looked perfect so I called up my buddies for a morning yak trip.
Almost skipped it from being so tired but rolled out of bed and launched around 7:30.
Topwater bite was decent with a few big misses. At one point I was on a nice school of trout pulling them in 2 at a time.
I lost them pretty quickly and started drifting around again tossing the Unfair lures Rip-n-slash (new favorite)
My goal was to upgrade my two smaller trout for the treasure coast trout tourny. I had the 29.5" from last weekend but my bottom 2 were 18" and I knew that would hurt me in the long run.
Somewhere along the morning I pulled a 20" and was pretty content with the minor upgrade.
I see a school of mullet in the distance so I tossed my favorite secret lure out and started to troll it. Along the way a boat started coming my way so I turned out to look at them. At that exact moment the water explodes and rod doubles over. No headshakes abbove the water but I can feel them below and I know its heavy.
I get the trout to the surface and try to net it. The lure pops out and its last kick pushed itself into the net. COME ONNN!!!
29" Sow in the kayak!
That is a 18" trout next to it...
Took our pictures for the tourny and laughed at how lucky I have been these past two weeks.
Now I have a 20" 29" and a 29.5" trout to turn in with a few days left to upgrade. Fishing has been great so go get you some.
Till next time

Well.... I was a bit long at 31 to 33. But, it just looked so big next to the 20 incher.
Way to go! _________________
