On this windy spring day, I had another session with sea trout fishing. As I arrived at the fishing spot, the wind was blowing from the northeast creating enough current in the water. On the other hand, it blow freezing-cold air into my face, which made the fishing conditions a bit challenging, as I was fishing on a spot facing the north in order to have onshore wind. I was fishing during the rising tide.
I wanted to play a bit with a retrieve, since during the last few sea trout fishing sessions I saw quite some followers. By this, I expected to trigger sea trout to bite more actively. I was using a silver-green spoon lure and a dropper shrimp shape fly to chase the fish. I wasn't getting any bites, so I switched to a bright pink lure, which seemed not to attract attention from the sea trout either. I changed back to the silver-green lure and after a couple of casts felt a tug on my line. Finally, I caught a sea trout! The sea trout put up a good fight, even though it was not big. After a while, I managed to catch another sea trout. It was not a keeper (45 cm) but a decent-sized fish. Both sea trout were released back into the water.
As I continued fishing, a fishing inspection officer approached me to check whether I was following the fishing regulations. I showed him my bag, and he was satisfied that I was fishing legally. It was a good reminder to always follow the rules and regulations of fishing and to be respectful of the environment.
Overall, it was a successful day of sea trout fishing, and I was glad that I managed to catch a couple of silver trout! I have not seen a lot of followers this time, so I am not sure that I found out what technique for lure retrieve attracts the fish best. Fishing sea trout can be rewarding with the right approach and a bit of luck!
