Finally! TROUT! Lots of fish with a 6+lber today!

Well, Mike, Darryl, and Myself got the new HD Video Camera in for the new season of Carolina Fishing TV several days ago... So, we hopped onboard Ranger's Banshee Extreme and went looking for some trout with the 70 to 80 degree days we had this weekend. Annnd, as luck would have it, Sat. we found a good bite from 9am till 11am and wound up landing about a dozen trout with the larger ones at 3lbs along with a couple of small flounder and a couple of Striper Hookups. Then, today we tryed some fresh areas that we've never worked before. About 1/2hr into this morning and we were catching quality trout. No Striper or flounder today but we wound up with 16 Trout today with nothing under 1.75lbs. Most of the trout were 2 to 2.5lbs but we did have several that were between 3 and 4lbs and Mike managed to land one weighing just over 6lbs. I wish I could say that I had some pics to share but, no still camera onboard... good news is that we got it all on video.... from the strikes, and hook sets, to the dipnet and livewell or release. Mike let the biggest go today... for someone else to catch and have a chance battling. Keep an eye out for the footage when the new shows begin airing in April.... Sundays at 9:30am on Fox 8/14 (Jacksonville to Greenville and to the coast) and Sat.'s at 8:30 on Fox 26 (Wilmington area) When you get a chance... check out the Banshee Extreme by Ranger, you won't believe how shallow this boat will go... it is absolutely the shallowest running technical poling boat I have ever been on. and it's not a noisy jetdrive! I know we had it in less than 6in. of water on plane without touching bottom or blowing any mud out of the propwash...and it floats in 5 1/2in... truly amazing! www.rangerboats.com

what type of water were you fishing?Creek, ICW?
 
We fished off the Neuse and Pamilco River Systems moving from creek to creek. Most fish were caught on 3in suspending hard baits.
 
Hey Mike,
I love my Banshee Extreme. I fish mostly the Buzzards Bay Ft Fisher area. Supper Skinny Check out the video on You tube {Ranger Banshee Extreme Running Shallow} Looking to replace my 21 Kenner with a 22 Bay Ranger.
Good fishing,
Jeff
