July a mixed bag
«

I have been fishing both fresh and saltwater this month.
My family went camping on the 9 th and 10th at Mt a blue. I trolled Webb lake for a few hours one morning and caught 2 Browns and a few small bass. The view while fishing is amazing.
I have been going to my usual spots on the coast for Stripers. I have to say the bite has been off a bit for me. I am still stuck at 26” and sometimes hard to catch mackerel. The pollack are around and I live line them but the Stripers follow the Macs. I caught 3 pollack on a sabiki and had a hard time reeling them in ha ha!
The highlight of the month was my family vacation on Great pond in Belgrade. I trolled 4 mornings and was skunked on one of them. We caught white perch , small mouth bass, a 28” Pike and a 17” Brown trout. Those Whites fight pretty good when they get to 15” . One evening we anchored by the marina and caught a bunch of fish worm burning with the family . We kept 8 big white perch .I also had a big player but lost it when it made a run under the boat. I think it was a pike or a large bass. We had a big fish fry from the 2 outings.
I felt a little defeated catching only one Brown on vacation. The boat was still hooked up so yesterday morning I made a last ditch effort for redemption. I went to one of my usual haunts and got skunked. Dunked the boat in another lake for salmon and Togue. I got a hit on a down rigger rod and reeled in a pretty colored Brown. Not listed as a species so I call that redemption.

I modified the post oops ! I was reeling in something small and a bigger fish nailed it.

Real nice month, Wayne! That last brown is a beauty. I've heard from other folks that the striper bite is also slow for them. You definitely got into a few and nice batch of other fish.

Great report, but the redemption fish is really something!
