sorry been so long. but i couldnt find my cable for the pics. and what good is a report w/o pics?

went to lake mary, rented 1/2 day boat and the bite was decent. we caught most of the fish at the south shore marina on a north shore boat since it was closed. then some ### came in a pontoon, and the bite died

we c/r the brookies and tiger trout but it didnt survive so we took it. there were some huge rainbows swimming,which chased the lures (orange trout trap with a plastic worm on bak[tfisherman, power worm, lipripperz]) but they didnt bite the lure.

went to convict on the way bak, fished for a while and lost one on the lure.

can you see the brookie in this one?

ive got to get better at troutin

Hey Jimmy you were right, that is a tiger trout. Thats kinda rare for up there isnt it??

mamoo · 07-16-2005, 01:02 AM

Thats a nice tiger trout. Ive never seen one up there before. I do believe they are very rare though. Arent they a hybrid anyway?

umoa · 07-16-2005, 01:17 AM

yea brookie/brown hybrid. i dont think they plant them so im guessing its a natural born trout

too bad it died. kinda bummed me, but 1 out of 13 c/r isnt bad. 2 rainbow, 1 tiger, and 11 brookie and alot more bigger trout not caught

Great report and pics!!! That tiger trout looks cool. How did it taste?

mamoo · 07-16-2005, 11:02 AM

Ive had the same problems that you have had of fish following the mini jigs and not hitting them. They tend to do that all the time. Ive had them pick them up and spit them out multiple times and I havent had time to set the hook. This gets really frustrating.

You're right 'Moa, all those hybrids are 100% native and natural, no plants at all. That is a nice fish.

I would have like to eaten that fish. Some sort of weird carnal satifaction when you eat something rare(rare as in non-common).

i would like to eat fish from the amazon. i was thinking of opening a restraunt with exotic fish species like nile perch, arowana, peacockbass, etc. that'd be pretty cool, or opening an indoor fishing pond with exotic species.

PlatinumHooks · 07-18-2005, 02:26 PM

That indoor fishing pond sounds cool, but would be hella expensive to get up and running.

umoa · 07-18-2005, 03:32 PM

i dont think so. they have alot of them in taiwan from what i remember. pretty much just a really big/deep pond with thin metal sheet walls over it. like a warehouse.
