Lanark 5/18 - Thanks to PapaSmurf

[cygraphics]

I just wanted to say a quick thanks for a great trip with Captain Terry (PapaSmurf) out of Lanark this past weekend. He had donated this trip for one of the raffle prizes at the FCKA Classic in March. I had my Step-dad come along as well since he doesn't get out that much and we had a great time. It was really nice to fish a different area than what I'm use to in kayak. It was also nice to fish standing up all day.

There is no telling how many fish we caught and about 8 different species ranging from pompano to flounder, but we ended up bringing home 6 keeper trout up to 20", a founder and a spanish. All in all it was a great morning and my dad and I had a great time fishing with Terry.

Below are a couple pics.... as well as the bear I saw on the way down. The photo doesn't really show his size well though since he was in the ditch.

Glad you got out! Sounds like a heck of a trip, should of got the bear to pose for a pic on the bow of the boat, that would have been classic!!!

6 trout, a flounder and a spanish in cooler aren't bad.
Glad you and your Step-dad got out there and had a good time together.

Way to go Chris! Did you cluck or yelp to get that bear to stick his head up like that?

What type of call did you use to get the fish near the boat? Hey fish!!!! That's what I use.
