Took a couple coworkers fishing. One had never fished salt much less thrown a lure and the other has some saltwater experience so my expectations were low. Just catch some fish and have fun. Well we got a late start and didn't get to the spot till about 0830 and we had to be done by 1030 so I didn't know what to expect.
Right off the bat my buddy Austin hooks a 18" trout not too bad for first ever fish with lures. I was tossing DSL for the first time and was getting short strikes. So I told him to toss where I was and bam he hooked up with a 22" trout. This trip was an awesome trip. We caught 11 keepers with three over 20". Smallest was 17". Fish were caught a little deeper than I thought. About three feet in guts and on top of sand about 28" deep. The lure was gulp jerk shad. And other buddy Mijo caught his with live shrimp. Love taking folks fishing and especially when it's the first time keeping some for the grease. Pix do it justice
