A day trout fishing w/ Stifftip and Flaptail
 

Well, we started out early but the cold was freezing guides and keeping the trout from touching hardware (they were being caught by folks using trout heroin, er, I mean Powerbait).

So we went shopping at M&D's then meandered over to RedTop tp peruse the selection and somehow ended up in Eastham at a pizza joint ( best on the Planet BTW) then to a herring run in Eastham ( no show yet) then feeling it had warmed up enough we went trout fishing in some outer Cape ponds.

The first pond Stiffy scored the only one with a nice holdover Tiger who gave a good account of itself in the gin clear ice cold water.
(See pic below)

Then it was to Art's Cove for a MANO Y MANO trout for trout slugfest for the last hour of our allotted time to fish.

We found fish ( see pic of Stiffy holding a brown up) seperately but in sight of each other by 200 yards or so. They slowed for me after 4 landed and several missed hits so I wandered to Stiffy's spot where he had 8 to my 4. He wanted a Cpae Cod Trout slam which is one tiger, one brown, one rainbow and one Brookie. He had all but the rainbow when I came up to his area whereupon I took 4 rainbows to his none and tagged a Tiger to capture the slam and deny him his. We caught and released 13 trout apiece with as many hits missed. But once again I showed him what for with a come back tie and took the slam. He couldn't buy the rainbow. ( I told him to go to the Colorado!)

Stiffy trying in vain for that one Rainbow comes up with another Brown and him holding his nice holdover Tiger

how ?????
 

how can you live with yourself... and still be so humble...:rotflmao:... i should have keep my mouth shut....:lossinit:

Yea yea, but which pizza joint?????

Red Barn, oh my God there stuff is goooood!!!!!

My wife refuses to eat pizza anywhere is now that I have taken her there. Me too!

Rich, stopped by last week to see if you were open in the rain last Saturday.

When are you opening for the season?

Good job guys....I took my first Trout trip this afternoon and joined twenty other guys casting a big Skunk at Peters between 12 & 2pm. I then jumped over to Marstons Mills to share in a 6 way Skerooo as well. IT was great to get out for the first day and at least the cigar was decent.

I went local and did nothing but talk to a schizophrenic guy while my dog rolled in something foul.

LOL

my family and I are gonna miss the red barn :(
you guys had a real good day trout fishing, good going :btu:
Danny and I went lumberjacking, i need a massage:yawn:

Starting to get deliveries in early April, so I'll be at the shop in/out during the week getting everything ready. Probably toward the end of April start having "daily" hours.

Not really in a great rush to open, as that means 7/24 for the next six months, but this is the life I choose!!

Arkansas Shiner Slug-gos you will need cases and cases of them
I have a kayak this year

hey flap i recognize that downed tree in the background.staying hunkered down in the "cave" putting some rods together.PIZZA BARN RULES!!!!!!

Hurry up with those rods! Theres fish to catch and you know where where. ( that cove where we met when we went to walk with the senior angler in wlflt)

And it's all your fault I am spoiled by the Red Barn pizza!

Me and Stiffy went back this morning and even with iced guides we managed a total of about 20 caught and released. Wind was bad coming directly in from the north and I could only catch on the bug Stiffy had them on spinners as well.

Looks like you guys had a great time...
