Thread: Sorry to report

I made it over to the slabfest on the 5th but I didn't bring the boat. My wife and I watched as boat after boat came in with tons of fish. What a great day.

Today I finally got a chance to put the boat in the water. I headed over to my favorite spot ( one of the hot spots last week ) and set out the rods. I looked around and there were at least a half dozen other boat there as well. The winds were not bad, 5-10 mph out of the NNW. It made for a nice drift. The first pass put one fish in the boat. I headed back to set up for another pass ( noticed that there were not as many boats as before). On this pass I used the trolling motor to hold me a little closer to the shore line. I put two more fish in the box. Set for a third pass but this time more to the east. Made the pass with 3 more keepers to add to the collection. By this time it was 11am and that is my quitting time, need to get home for lunch.

I am sorry to report that the fish were not jumping in the boat like they were last week. But I got 6 nice keepers and a few throw backs. I got to try some new baits and a new set up. I feel like I had a good day.
