Dodging the moonlight skunk. 12-03-2017

Post by F.O.C. »

Launched around 2am. Paddled to deeper water but didn't find anything. It was real quiet out there. Paddled closer to shore and found dink trout and rat reds in a foot of water. When the sun started to rise I paddled back out to deeper water and found trout willing to slap around the top water. I did manage to catch a few. Nothing big, a 16 incher and a couple more dinks. I was gonna change colors but some guys in a boat were watching so I moved on.

I did drift over a couple of nice reds. Looked like they were sleeping. Only moving their pectoral fins and they never spooked.

Clouds started stacking up so I called it a morning.

The sunrise was awesome! Hadn't seen one like that in while.

Incredible photos. That sunrise is awesome. I was out at yesterday also. It was overcast all day but it never rained on me. A nice thick fog rolled in again at around 1:30pm and the chilly wind picked up so that's when i headed in.
