New Years Day Fishing Report



Happy New Year Everyone

Hit the water this morning around 7am . Today's goal was to catch photo and release a few specks. I was armed with nothing but Brown Lures and an assortment of jig heads both rattling, plain and varying in weight from 1/16 oz to 1/5 oz. I was fishing a mud bottom around 6' in depth and ambient air temp was about 50 degrees with a slight N-NW wind. There were two other waders in the area fishing live bait and didn't appear to be catching anything.Started out throwing B&L Original Small Tails in both Amber and Cajun Pepper with several trout hookups. Decided to tie on a Brown Lures Devil Eye in the Black Cat color. Immediately started catching trout this time in the 18" range. This continued until the wind started picking up. I decided to drift the wind back towards my launch area. Hook ups continued all the way back to the launch area while using the Devil Eye.
This is my first trip fishing exclusively with Brown Lures since Joining Team Gulf Coast Rods and I have developed the utmost confidence in Brown Lures ability to catch fish. It didn't make a difference what color I used or what weight jig head. They all caught fish so long as the retrieve was slow and erratic.
Tight Lines,
Ted
