Jig Triggers & Calico, Ling, Reds fun.

Lobster traps that sounds like a jig getter. Now that I said it I am sure my luck will change. Plus compared to where you are working and where I am, my record might be considered cheating. There is not much saltwater in Wyoming. I have been missing SD lately and I am excited to get back there.

 

Caught a 25" brown there once I think... But the memory that really sticks, was catching a dozen or so carp over 30 lb on those blue crayfish they had under the rocks there. Got a couple smallmouth too, but those carp on 8# test were nuts, especially when you could spot them before they spooked. Super fun, drag peeling action. Bagged my one and only life antelope on a hill above the lake too. Fun times with my uncles and dad...

 

I am at Flaming Gorge resort now waiting on my son and grand son to get in. We are fishing the weekend. I might have to update my snagged lure report, we will see how my record holds. Plus if we get into those big lake trout I will want to share those.

I ordered my boat the first of May and it arrived the end of September. This is our second trip meeting together at Flaming Gorge. We know a little more about it this time then last time. The lakers come up from the deep once the surface water gets colder. They like the water around 50 degrees, So we are in the prime time.

I really want to bring the two of them to SD to fish. I plan to spend at least ten days a year there.

 

B8DHOOK , my uncles went there for many years looking for that trophy antelope. I only ever went back for those carp one more time. I guess the burbot and smallies were taking over the lake years back, no idea if those giant carp are there now... It was fun as hell for a young man though

 

it’s hard to tell sometime the surface can be moving differently than the current below
