So, you folks like to hear the bad as well as the good?

Well, here's the bad.

Launched from the fort at daylight and headed east. The wind was out of the south at 10+. Even so the water dissappeared in a hurry. Dodged storms from 9:30 till 1:00. Right around 1:00 my BIL hung into a 13 lb. 6 oz. Jack.



If you look in the background you'll see it was ugly.

As soon as we released the jack we headed in. We ran into 3 foot washing machine conditions in the mouth of the river.

Finished the day with 3 keeper trout, 1 being over 20".

For those of you that are thinking this beat working, you might be glad you were working.

nah, It still beat working.

Glad ya'll got out and made it in safe.

At least it wasn't blistering hot.

P.S. Thanks for the email

but I wasn't working, my stuff was packed, the boat was gassed, and I got teeth marks where she chewed my azzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Can't help ya with that one, WAM.

That is why they make a weather forecast TC

Glad you found a few

Sounds like a typical day fishing with Tincan

Kayakers had similar results today. Thanks for the Report!

To quote my BIL, "The last time I fished with you I got beat up and soaking wet".

yep...if you need a good washing off, go with TC

Bring your own soap.

way to hang in there TC. and sorry tohear about your BIL"s kidney problems

My guess was that I had one of those Jacks yesterday for about 30 seconds but never got a look. The strike was right on target and it ran like a freight train. I saw that storm work from the West towards St Marks & figured somebody would be dealing with it.

Glad you got out TC. Nice Jack and "good on ya" for the trout. At least you guys have a good story to tell about braving the elements. Nice Scout by the way. I'm sure you love it.

How much line did that Jack peel off?
