CROAKER WIN

6-22-2015--My one guest today likes to fish top water lures and is very good at it.  Last year his Skitterwalk proved to be even better than croaker.  He caught two trout over 28 inches on one wade with it.  But today was different.  First cast he hooked a trout but failed to land it.  He had a few more bites but didn't land any fish.  During that first wade I managed 3 keeper trout but they were not over 17 inches.  Since we were looking for bigger fish we moved several miles to the drop off from a shallow, grassy  flat.  First cast I hooked a 20 inch trout.  That caused my guest to abandon the Skitterwalk and change to croaker.  The bite was on.  We caught and released somewhere between 30 and 40 good sized trout and kept 4 for dinner.
