nice fish , thats one thing that is very difficult to find here in Ct . the housey has the best shot as does the shetucket . but you dont see many or hear of too many of them targeted or caught . I know a few guys that look for them religeously during the late winter early spring .

keep up the good fishing on the cape .

Maybe but it was a 45 minute window during a stage of the tide then it died. A guy I talked too said it had been that way all week. On then off like a light switch.

Tons of sand eels, big ones, 6 inches long and silversides minnows up the kazoo.

Salter or Sea Runs?

Steve,
Here in CT those browns are called sea runs. And I thought salters were brookies. Is 'salter' the name sea run browns go by up that way??

Thanks,

Woody

Yeah, at least with my little group of trout maniacs. We called them Salters because they were stocked a couple weeks ago in a salt creek and for all intent and purposes they are no different then your average pond fish except the salt water part at this time of year. They do fight better and will often leap clear of the water which pond browns usually do not do. In the fall, after surviving a summer in the creeks with the bass and occasional bluefish and they have changed color to almost all silver with green backs and a gold hue then they become in our eyes Sea Runs and much much harder to catch.

Nice flap. I had 2 bows dance on the water yesterday, one was about 3 lbs. I forgot how much fun trout fishing can be. Are those bugs crappie jigs?
