    Grinding out the trout bite

    The full moon may have got the better of us this time, but it’s always a fun couple of days when these boys come down. As expected the bite was on from sun up until about 10:30 for 16-20″ trout, then it died both days. But that didn’t slow us down. We tried many different…

  • Seadrift fishing report

    Seadrift fishing report

    Strange bite today! All our wades produced a good number of hits, but many fish were lost immediately after the hookset, or halfway in. It didn’t seem to matter if they were dink trout or 18-20” keepers, each of us only had a couple good thumps. Other than a little frustration from loosing a few…

    Fun last couple of days. We tried many different areas from shell to shorelines. Each spot produced a good handful of fish, but by mid-day the bite fell off. This is to be expected this time of the year, with winds that die and the water temps rising. Today when it went slick we found…
