January 6th trip C&R

[10pointer]

went to montauk yesterday (friday).

I went and dumb me....forgot my flyrod. I had the spinning rod with me and a bunch of jigs i tied up luckily. Sizes and numbers of fish were excellent as usual for the c&r down there. A buddy of mine (steve) from work at bass pro shops drove down with me. The fish were hitting excellent and he did real well on stripping midges and other things through the current and dry midges up top when the big hatch occoured behind the lodge in the afternoon.

we both had an excellent day and i caught at least 100 from 8:45 am - 4 pm. He caught one lunker which would have went around 25' and 7 lb.... I caught 5 lunkers in the 21-24 inch range which all would have went in the 4- 5 lb range. We saw a few other people down there who werent having much luck though. I was pulling the jig away from the lil guys when i was going after the bigones

I was using just three or four color combos in jigs i tie all day. From what ive learned over the years that the differences in color or presentation than the guy next to ya will sometimes produce a 10:1 ratio in fish caught to the other guy. I suggest tying up some things these fish havnt seen and the results will be tenfold. A really good pair of optics helps along with the super clear water conditions at least for me

My buddy has some pics he's emailing me of a couple of my fish and ill post them up later. It was a beautiful day and the fishing was excellent as usual kudos to the mdc.
