Celebrating Pops Birthday

My Brother and I met up with our Pops on Saturday afternoon.  This was the first time I have brought my boat to the Elizabeth River.   It was pretty chilly and very windy.  We started fishing around 11:30am and wrapped it up around 5.  We had a decent bite, but it certainly wasn’t red hot.   We picked up fish here and there, with a couple nice ones in the mix. Pops doesn’t trout fish much (yet) and he managed his personal best trout!   Very enjoyable afternoon and we finished off the evening with a nice dinner and a couple cold beers.  Happy Birthday Pops!

Perseverance

My brother and I have been chasing a trout over 10 pounds for quiet some time now.  We have both spent countless hours chasing the elusive fish.  Matt finally got one yesterday.  Please head over to his blog and read the full story!  www.a-teamfishing.com

Photogenic

Matt and I brought along the real cameras for some photos in our new AFTCO gear.  The conditions were perfect for shooting. . . no wind, golden afternoon light, and some cooperative trout.  We caught some solid trout and managed a few good pics.

From the sand

Matt and I headed down to the beach last night to try and catch a 15lb trout…….. We managed a few 15 inchers and also lucked into a school of nice upper slot pups.  All fish came on mirrolures which for some reason makes it extra fun.  Thanks for checking.  Stripers are at the bridges so lets get out there, give me a call and we can book your trip!

Last hurrah

Well, my wife is what seems like about 15 months pregnant.  She is due to pop any day with our second child.  We are expecting another daughter and we are naming her Autumn Faye Lusk (I plan on calling her Auttie)  Anyways, we ventured North in search speckled trout.  We decided to hit Back River in Hampton first, then head to the motherland that is the Elizabeth River to cap off the day.  We managed a solid catch of specks with some quality fish in the mix.   !2 troutski
