Well, so I actually had 3 rods along, one with a 1/4oz jighead, one with an 1/8oz jighead, and one with a mr17. I didn't venture out until around 11 or so so I could get the outgoing tide. Got the jonboat in the water, headed to the fishing grounds, and fired up the trolling motor. Didn't take long to start catching, trout were on FIRE! Started throwing the 1/8jig with a curly tail and picked off a couple smaller fish, went to the mr17 and caught two back to back 16" and 17" threw it around a few more minutes with nothing. Picked up the 1/4oz jighead with a gulp shrimp, and finished off the limit with two fish a hair over 14". I would have normally threw them back, but I only wore a hoody and jeans (dumb move this morning!) and was freezing cold out there. Packed up, threw the boat on the trailer and was done by noon. Left them biting for tomorrow when I will dress appropriately.
