Andy and I went out of Mexico Point State Boat launch this morning just after 6 am. We ran out in front of the A-frame and set up to troll for bass. After trolling for about 5 minutes we caught and released a small bass on a Flicker Shad.
We continued to troll back past Mexico Point and in front of Sage Creek. It was there that lead core rod with just shy of 2 colors out fired. This time we knew it was a good fish. When the fish jumped we saw it was a nice brown trout. The fish put up a good fight but eventually ended up in the net. It weighed in at just over 5 pounds. After trolling a while longer with no hits we decided to pull lines in and run over towards Catfish Creek.
As we got over that way we noticed there where a lot of bigger boats fishing the deeper water in that area. We set up in 20 feet trolling towards shore. This time it was the flat line rod with a Small Mouth Bass colored Live Target lure back 60 feet that fired. This fish took a bit to get to the net as it was a 6 pound brown on a very light bass rod. We then trolled back to Mexico Point with out another hit and called it a morning as it was getting hot and humid.
This was my first time not doing well on the bass in Mexico Bay but the brown trout more than made up for it.
Solid work, 2 browns= at least 4 smallies.
