ANKY weekend report

Post by RHTFISH »

Special treat this weekend as our elder son Mark took a road trip
on his new Harley Road King of about 900 miles which included his
annual spring weekend trip to THE HIDEOUT.

Image

We fished west in 4-6 feet of water Fri until midafternoon and the same on Saturday with almost identical results. Most fish were caught on
Gulps under CTs. No fast bites and just a few small fish....most were
quality fish as seen from the results on Friday.

We only had a couple of hours on Sunday am before he got back on road so I wanted to get him a good redfish. We headed into creek near Long Point and got several strikes and I landed a nice rat as soon as we got past the mouth. Next thing I know he's got this nice 22" red on spoon and
wears him down expertly. Great moment for both of us!

Image

Along the way on Friday am I got to use my expertise and remove a nice
treble from his thumb thanks to the antics of a spanish mack. He left with the best laugh though at my "senior moment" while launching on
Sat am. I normally fish alone so I'm a "creature of habit" and get somewhat out of synch when I have help. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it! :oops: Anyhow, I backed boat into position, got out and
handed him the bow line and unhooked the winch line and got in and
drove up into the parking lot and found a place to park. I looked in
rear view mirror to make sure the trailer was out of the road and lo and
behold the boat was still on the trailer. After laughing hysterically for
a few minutes I pulled back around and got in line again for a ramp....again. I can honestly there's not many things I haven't done
before....but that was a first. I'm still trying to explain myself to Mark!
:oops:
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Any trip with your son is a good rip. The fish are a bonus. The memories make it even better.

BTW, I fully understand the "senior moment" thing. :thumbup:
What was I supposed to do today?
