My buddy Gary from Long Island called and told me he was hitting some of his favorite spots wading today. I had some guide meetings and other commitments in the morning and I met up with him in around noon.
He had Wade fished a few spots in the morning and caught his personal best brown trout on the west branch! Check out this pic! He hand painted his new rapala to look like a baby brown trout. And hell yeah did it work! This fish measured 28”!!!
Then after meeting up with Gary we headed to the NYC reservoirs and targeted respawn smallmouth. After getting blanked on our first few spots, we found the motherload. I landed close to ten bass between 14”-19”. And Gary put a hurtin on a few too.
Always grateful for a buddy to call and share some new spots and take the lead on a fishing day.
