Pat Vonasek(former owner of 306) and son, EZ, came by for a visit this weekend. Here EZ shows the nice trout he caught at the "pipe". We picked up one other keeper which was better than it has been. EZ caught his on a cocohoe and the other was caught on a DOA shrimp. It was great to visit with Pat and EZ again. Sisters, Anna, Brenna, and Beth did not come down this time. EZ had dad all to himself this weekend.
The red fishing in the mitigation site has slowed considerably. I did not see a keeper caught in the last six days. This morning Scott C. had a big red on a gold spoon, but it got away. There was a strong smell of a trout slick over the marina this morning. A trout slick smells like cantaloupe or cucumber. They result when trout go into an eating frenzy and regurgitate so they can eat some more.
Back to the two trout, when I filleted the two, they were both badly infested with parasitic worms. I have rarely seen this and then it has usually been associated with warmer waters. I wonder if this may have anything to do with the dearth of keeper trout in the bay.
