Team Jo-Jo:
Team Jo-Jo’s crew Saturday Trip Report:
Crew:
Big Ron (aka Indiana Ron): The man with the plan and captain of the Bassflat.
Big Pablo: The catching machine, always ready to make it happen.
Vessel:
Big Ron’s Bassflat, expertly paired with a Mercury Dream Machine, a setup built for both speed and efficiency.
Intel Prep:
After a tough Friday outing by Oneofthepack and Big Rudy, where Silverwonders and Redwarriors proved elusive, Big Ron and Big Pablo reviewed the less-than-ideal report. Despite the dismal results, they embraced Team Jo-Jo’s unwavering motto:
“You got to go to know.”
Armed with hope and determination, they launched with Plan “A” in mind, ready to challenge Friday’s unfortunate results.
Plan "A" - Same Path, Same Struggles
The duo started with the same approach as Friday, targeting spots noted for potential action.
Results: It didn’t take long for reality to set in. The water was quiet, the fish uncooperative, and the vibe was eerily similar to Friday’s struggles. The dreaded skunk-vile was becoming a real possibility.
Plan "B" - On-the-Water Pivot
Just as hope was beginning to waver, a glimmer of opportunity arrived in the form of on-the-water intel via text.
With the new information in hand, Indiana Ron and Big Pablo quickly adjusted course and executed Plan "B" with precision.
The Breakthrough:
Arriving at the new spot, the crew immediately noticed a difference. The water showed signs of life, and it wasn’t long before the Redwarriors revealed themselves.
The Redwarriors were stacked up, hungry, and ready to play seek-and-catch for an extended session.
Highlights:
Persistence Paid Off: Despite discouraging intel and a slow start, they stuck to the motto and kept fishing until they found success.
Adaptability: Quickly pivoting to Plan "B" and following the new intel proved to be the game-changer.
Redwarriors on Fire: The bite was strong, the fish were aggressive, and the action steady, turning a dismal start into a successful outing.
Takeaway:
Indiana Ron and Big Pablo showed that even when the odds are against you, adaptability and determination can turn a tough day into a memorable adventure. Once again, Team Jo-Jo proved that “you got to go to know.”
Crew words:
10 reds-24inches each missed 4. 1 throw back trout and 1 keeper
Good Fishing
Team Jo-Jo & Oneofthepack
“YOU GOT TO GO TO KNKOW”
