Rockport

Hit Rockport last Saturday and definitely wasn’t the only one fishing. Surface water temp was 56 and started doing a slow troll from the raft and caught a couple 15 inch bows on black and green buggers. After pumping a few throats, I noticed tons of black and silvery chironomids so we anchored up 20 yards from shore near a rock outcropping and tossed out chironomids and black balanced leeches 8 feet under an indicator and had a good time. It wasn’t fast fishing but every time you’d start looking away from the indicator it would suddenly take off under water. Had a couple that set themselves and was glad I had the rods firmly secured in holders. All in all, landed about 8 total with 6 that were chunky and between 16-18 inch bows. Beautiful day to be out on the water and much needed therapy for the soul.
