Trophy Trout, Moon Phase, & Understanding Solunar!

Hey Bud I love your podcast and appreciate your dedication to peotecting our trout fishery. I live in the San Antonio area and would love to go fishing with you some time. I only fish with lures, never keep fish and am solely dedicated to trying to catch big ol sow gator trout. Id love to get together for lunch or something and maybe figure out getting a trip together. I have a boat ready to head to the Laguna and Im always looking for people to help split the cost of trips down south

clear as mud

Hey bro I live in Norfolk, VA thanks for the tips so far all of them have worked

Would love update as to the citation data in major minor and by month Thank love you work

Chris, I wanna start throwing more artificials. I’ve always used live bait. For a well rounded setup what do recommend as far as rod length and action (med/med, med/mod). I wade fish not shure if that influences your recommendations. Thank

What type of habitat, conditions, and baits dominate the citation fish catch datasets. If you ciyld do a report focused on area types big fish perfer would be great.

This dude is talking about the hot ditch from Florida. When they shut down the hot water discharge, the catch numbers declined but gator trout still hung around the area for years. That was until--the night after I caught my pb 29.5 incher--some poachers came in and netted THOUSANDS of citation fish. That was back in either 2014 or 2015, and the hot ditch has never, ever been the same.The hot ditch area itself (distinct from the larger Elizabeth River fishery) is no longer even a really popular spot for big fall and winter trout. It's a tragedy.

I have been digging the podcasts! I am a Texas fly nut who has pursued big trout a little, but not a lot. I have a question - What is the proper method to measuring a trout? I have caught 2 trout at 27.5" without pinching the tail. Should the tail be pinched? if so, could I say they were 28" without stretching the truth? Pun intended. LOL! Thanks!

Pronounced: so lu nar

You can't stand Redfish? How about they fight harder, look better in pics, are way tougher as far as surviving weather etc, and taste better than trout. Anyway I admire your passion for your craft. I love a mean Redfish tho.

To much waffling
