Trinity Lake* a Long&Hot AOTY Roadtrip 4/18-4/19

Great pics and report Adam, thanks. Cool rocks and landscapes.  Look like great trip - congrats on all those fat smallies guys!

Way to Adam, wish I could fish with you...too freakin busy saving the delta. 

...too freakin busy saving the delta. 

Jim!,you are the man!!  your work IS and WILL be greatly appreciated NOW&FOREVER!!

Adam your posts are the best!  Postmaster indeed.  Thanks for documenting our adventure in a precise and timely manner, while the rest of the family continued having fun searching for snails and shooting fish in epic visibility this week.

It is always a blast travelling and just hanging out with Adam and Dad.  The long car ride seemed to just fly by, as did the weekend.  The lake was low and the structure we had intel on was just barely covered by water, so we scouted and named our own spots.  (hot point was a favorite for awhile...)  Lots of quality fish all three days but Saturday was my day.  I had two doubles and better than a dozen fish including smallies, largemouth, and even a trout.  The biggest smallies went 19" (doubled with a 17"  within high five distance of FH) and a little piggy that went 20" and pushed 6lbs!

Where to next boys???

Were you guys towing minnows all the time or did you break out the artifitials?

Baby brushhawgs in pumpkinseed/red and roboworm FATworms in purple also stuck 'em.

Good god thats a hell of a smallie, Patrick!  NICE.

Fess up P, on a minnow?
Too bad you don't get points for girth!

I cannot tell a lie.

Beautiful Patrick just beautiful. Those fish are just too fat. Congrats on an AOTY smallmouth.I need to fish with you again so I can catch something. 

Hey Adam, you are a lens-master. Awesome pics, bro! We saw your CRV parked at O2B's last Sunday. Good to see you guys had a great time.

Sweet bronze backed footballs! Looks like you got what you were looking for. If we gotta catch a dino, how 'bout we only allow atrificials like the bass tournies...
