Thursday 10/5 was my wedding anniversary. I was already off from work the later half of the week when my wife asked what I wanted to do for our anniversary? I wasn't going to say go fishing, but when she suggested we drop the little guy off at daycare and go paddling by ourselves - and that I could fish - well, let's just say I had the gear loaded up pretty quick 
.
She wanted to go to go bayside on the ESVA and suggested a couple places. I obviously had no real desire to just paddle around and sight see, so I gently steered her options towards the spot I wanted to fish. I ended up just trolling the entire time so I didn't fall too far behind her trying to cast or jig. I found a couple places I wish I had had the time to fish a little harder, but trolling still put a few in the boat. I ended up with 5 trout 17" - 21" and a bunch of the typical 16" stripers that dominate the shallows.
I ended up keeping one trout for our anniversary dinner

The salt/pepper, light blue grub in the picture is my new favorite color for trout. Although take that with a grain of salt because every couple trout trips I seem to have a new favorite color, haha. But that color caught 95% of my trout last weekend and all the trout yesterday. I switched colors on my second rod several times yesterday and none found a trout. Tried X-raps on the second rod too and nada.
