Love those splake! Great report Jim
Thanks, Nick. The only splake I caught this Spring and they weren't fresh stockies, that's for sure.
No they look sizable. How long?
Great photos and report as always Jim! Since the first week of the month I've switched mainly to Stripers (the benefits of living in the Greater Portland Metro), with the occasional smallmouth afternoon session mixed in. Went up the coast a ways to a secret spot for Mem Day weekend and pulled a few fat and sassy bronze girls in. While I caught a couple nice ones on the A Rig and on tubes (biggest was a 4 on the A Rig), my better half completely schooled me and landed a 5 (as well a 4 and multiple high 3s) on a ned rig.
Your report did not disappoint Jim, love it! especially the bright red bellied male splake and that salmon, super nice fish. That sucker is HUGE i can see by how far it's tail is sticking up in the net - almost at the rim. reminds me of (the size of ) some salmon i've caught. wow!
