Nebraska Tailwalkers!

Because of the storm, for safety reasons the "Team" left the salt and the kayaks to go inland in search of the famous hard fighting, line breaking, tail-walking corn-fed Rainbows of Nebraska; we only had to go to Escondido to find them!
Dressed to the hilt in splash pants, boots and rain-gear, the team was well-prepared for the all-day rainstorm that day.

As usual, the fish followed suit and went on the chew too! Amazing how hard the Tail-walkers fight on 2-4 lb setups.
A few were lost but just as many made it to the safety of the net...Name:  IMG_20161222_101749.jpg

Overall, because of our preparations the day turned out to be a fun, safe experience for the RedSledTeam as we all caught fish.....except at the end of the day at the final siren, the bass chair broke under my modest weight and I flipped over backwards onto the frigid lake! My splash pants did its job and kept me dry from the waist down but, my splash jacket collected a souvenir gallon or two of Lake Wohlford's finest drink!!!
I'm just glad it was a very short boat ride back to the dock and of course, I happened to have a spare set of clothes, just in case.

Very impressive for such young anglers! 2 # test and all!!! Must have a great teacher... How deep did you have your best luck. Thinking of giving it try up there real soon.

Happy New Years!

Hey Yani! That was the most fun we've had in a long, long time so we decided we are going to make going fishing a monthly habit!
