Hickory Mounds - 6-2-2018

Met Ed, Buddy and Shane at Hickory Mounds at 6am yesterday. It was breezy when we got to the ramp. I was hoping we would have had the same calm winds that Friday had in the morning before ramping up. No such luck!
The bite was very slow. Late morning the wind picked up before calming down around 11:30 for about 30 minutes. That's probably when the group had the most luck. Shane left sometime around then and I'm not sure what he caught. Buddy ended up with 3 trout. Ed caught 2 reds and 4 trout with the reds being 19 and 20 inches and his best trout was 18.5 inches.
Buddy and Ed decided to head in when the wind got tougher. That was around 1pm. Up until that point I had 2 trout and 1 red. The bite seemed to pick up after Buddy and Ed departed. I ended up catching a few more reds and trout. Lost 2 very nice reds when the lure came loose. My totals were 4 reds, 4 trout, 2 catfish and several grunts and pinfish. Not a whole lot of pictures taken.
