New Years Brown Trout(s)
« on: Jan 01, 2023, 11:44 AM »
Headed out with BarringtonBrad this AM to find some holdover Browns, we were able to find 8 by lunchtime. First time I ever remember not Bow fishing on a big lake New Years. Here’s a few pics

Hows the new bibs treating ya

These bibs are amazing, 100% waterproof, the perfect warmth and range of movement and great pocket placement. Jacket Is far better than my clam one but it was so damn hot I couldn’t wear it

Nice job Gents.. gotta love Browns.. unfortunately, I haven't got out,  I dodged  covid for 3 years, but my Grandson who is living  with us while he completes his Masters  at northeastern gave my wife and I an ugly Christmas present.. anyway, were good, few days of cough, headache and fatigue,  other than that no big deal, I've been trapping bait  next weekend I drive for as long as it takes to walk on water..

Again nice to see some quality fish not fresh out if a fish bowl.

Nicely done Frank. I hear you about the jacket. I hardly ever wear one unless it’s frigid out. Good bibs are enough to roast the giblets without a coat on.
