I left the house at home Friday before we left, figured we'd tell time by the sun, on the water when came up and on the trailer when it went down.

Saturday doesn't strat off as good as thought it would. Some jack leg backs down the ramp, gets out, unstraps the back then loads evrything including the sink from his truck, gets in to crank up and after15 minutes gets he what nots in order and launches. I know there is another ramp right beside it, but did I mention the other jackleg tied up to the walkway down the middle. I may not be fastest unloader here but my stuff is in order when I get there. Any way, fish from the channel out a few miles and wife catches first fish a fat 18" on Nuclear Chicken Gulp! under a CT. We decided to find my folks and try some numbers in 25'-30' for some rock bass and maybe a few grouper. We follow Mom & Dad back in, grab some cut bait and head that way. Catch a few short rock bass, which is great fun on trout rods, and head to few other spots. Drop lines and cut bait, a few break offs later I decide to let the wife and Dad fish and keep the hooks baited. The wash down pump quits. Ain't that a, well they keep fishing and keep rinsing with coke bottle. We finally decide to head back and Dad decides he'll pull the anchor, which free falls 30' down taking the coiled rope with it. Well, I'll buyanother one.

Head out as the sun comes up, sorta, to find the ever elusive trout. Fish the same area as the the day before, nothing happening wife getting a little bored. Hello boat ride. Head up to Spring Warrior, a bunch of short strikes on her CT. Hello Mr. Boat Ride, head a few more miles north. I started throwing a Mirrolure Catch 5 with gold sides and clear bottom. Fish on, my wife wakes up just in time to net my fine 20" trout




All in all a great time with wife who is now semi-bsun burnt, but she grow up on the beach and don't need no sun screen.
