I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! On Wednesday 11-21, my charter caught a few trout and blues, fishing was ok. The weather had been getting a little warm and the water was coming up in temps. This is not usually good for trout fishing. We picked seven trout, two flounder and a few Blues. The weather around here was not the best on Thanksgiving Day, warm and windy~~~ enjoyed a day with the family.
Got out on the water Saturday 11-24, the front had made it by us that night “Cold and Windy~~~~~!!! I took a good friend of mine Capt Cordy. We fished most of the late morning with not much luck, I told him let’s go finish up around the Masonboro jetties. We fished a few spots, got a nice Tautog and a few Blues. So we moved to try one more spot before we called it a day.
Threw out a live shrimp, hooked up small Redfish. Every cast after that we got a Red, they were not to big 17″ to 22” a lot of fun on light tackle. I told Cordy there has got to be a Big Trout mixed in these Reds. Hooked number 18 “Red”, he started running hard I looked down in the water “UH-OH” it’s a Nice Trout! Cordy reached down in the water with his hands and grabbed my Trout, don’t ever forget the net when trout fishing “note to self”! Cordy threw him in the boat, time to call it a day.
The Trout was 6.01 on the Xtools scale, number seven over four pounds this year. We caught the Trout and Reds on live shrimp, float rigs running about three feet deep. Thanks for reading this report. Give me a call let’s go get your next nice Trout! 910-233-4139 Good fishing to YA Capt. Jot Owens
