TR for the weekend

[JestersHK]

On our way down this morning.  Amped up for an awesome weekend.  Finally met up with Seth so hopefully we can get into them.  I'll try to keep this up to date with fish pics too.

If you're headed for Upper Taney by the dam, you should do well.  Me and my boy was there yesterday and caught quite a few white bass and some good smallmouth and largemouth.  We also saw a few trout being caught.

Yeah we'll likely start up there here in about an hour or so. Thanks for the tip.

We were practicing for the tournament tomorrow... Duane's soar-lipping all of them today.

That's a pretty brown! 

Probably not a triploid???.

Fishing was so so for us today.  Caught fish pretty consistently when we started out and got progressively slower as the day ended and wind picked up. 

We caught fish on just about everything.  Jerk baits, jigs,  trolling crank baits via the Doty method

Only caught rainbows, no browns or fresh water after multiple runs up to the cable.  Fished mostly trophy area, but did run down to monkey island later with not much to show for it

Fish caught were all pretty decent, Seth lost probably the nicest fish of the day right at the boat,  but overall what I would call a slower day. Wind in the afternoon got real ignorant... 

We're baking some lasagna then gonna go hit the cable for a bit and try to catch some Walters.

No- a diploid.  Adipose fin isn't clipped.

They seem to have better coloration than the triploids.

I agree the triploids have a washed out bronze coloration and the ones I've seen in photos also have less spotting overrall. They remind me of photos of browns caught in the great lakes.
