Well it was nice to try out the new trolling motor on my boat, and it was sure nice to get the feel of a fish on the end of the line and the beginning of the new fishing season and get all the gear out of the basement and working again, but after spending last weekend fishing both Saturday and Sunday at Beaver Lake in Issaquah, catching 15 trout a day got to be a little boring. Yes 15 trout each day putting in 3 hours sounds like a lot of action, but when the planters barely stretch out and make it to 9 maybe 10 inches, it gets a little old. A few put up a great fight at a small 10 inches, but the rest were just horribly weak and small and I didn't even have to consider slowing down the boat and I just kept trolling right along at a pretty fast trolling speed (my motor is only 2 speeds, and even the low one gets the sevylor inflatable boat moving good) to give my friend a chance to hook another planter...Does anyone have an idea as to how a small 10 inch planter will grow within a few months? I enjoyed spending time fishing, but I am anxious to try and get some decent 12"-15" trout already after spending more than enough time playing around with the planters...But if anyone could give an idea as to how fast these little guys might grow and put some weight, length and strength together to make them a little more fun to catch...
