Tuna Meltdown Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I sat around Monday waiting all day for my new CL8-Bait Baby muskrats to arrive via USPS. Figures when it's bill they deliver the mait at 9:30am but when it's baits the keep you waiting until 3:00 in they afternoon. Anyway I dragged the new kayak down the street at 1:00 and had one of the fastest 3 trout limits I've ever had landing 3 rainbows in about 30 minutes trolling spoons. I told a neighbor that I would keep them a couple so I quickly gutted them and dragged the kayak back up the street and delivered the trout to my neighbor. Just as I dropped off the trout I saw the mailman delivering my new baits so I grabbed them and ran back down the street to the lake, kayak in tow, and launched for the second time in the afternoon. I stayed close to home and fished a cove that has always been a spot where I've seen some big prespawn bass. It didn't take long, only about a dozen or so casts and I new she was big as soon as she hit. I was fishing my lighter swimbait combo as the baby muskrat is only a half ounce bait so it was a fun fight. My neighbor, who I caught the trout for came back down in his canoe and took a couple pictures for me. Swas one of the better looking pre-spawn fish I've caught in a while.
