Hey all,
I just got back from my yearly Henry's trip late last night. I fished Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If you could bare the cold, then fish could be caught, although it was much slower on Saturday after the storm blew in on Friday evening. I caught about 65 fish in 3 days. Any type of jig, or any color of paddle bug tipped with a worm seemed to work just fine, or else nothing did. The mornings were good, but then bite seemed to go in spurts after that. I found more fish in water under 10 feet than I did in water over 10 feet. It seemed the Brookies where mostly in about 6 FOW or less and liked the bait within 6 inches of the bottom.
I got one great fish and several good fish along with lots of little (little = under 16 inches).
Caught my best cut ever on this trip. It was 27 inches and had a girth of 17 inches. I plugged those numbers into an online weight calculator and it spit out 9.75 pounds. The pictures don't do it justice.
Peace-out.
