Week Ending 6/10/07
First full week of fishing. Monday was raining the whole day but my hearty crew from Vt. was there to catch fish. Kevin and Casey got about 35 with the main struggle positioning the boat so we wouldn't drown in the rain. Monday night Kevin drove back to VT. dropped off Casey and picked up a buddy and came back for another day of fishing. Again we got about 35 fish, with the struggle today of positioning the boat in the high winds. No keepers either day but a lot more fish than they were used to catching, and we were all happy.
Wed. was the break in the weather and the fishing. Lots of fish for John and his crew, including a 38" 39" and a 29" inch Striper. Thursday was probably the most fun for me, a great bunch of guys from out of state here for a sales meeting. Dom, Corey and Big John.
The picture of two guys and fish is of John and Corey. The fish John was holding up was 30" but hard to tell as John was 6'7". The first guy to bump his head on my t-top rod holders. We had a great time catching a bunch of fish but more importantly every fish we caught was appreciated by these guys. Friday Larry and brother Ed came for a 40+ trip with biggest about 29". Saturday, was overcast with bits of rain. The weather conditions kept a lot of small fish on the surface, which was fun for the Sat. boating crowd, fly-fishing or light tackle casting to them. It didn't do much for us as these fish were small and casting with 4 and the bimini top on for the rain just wouldn't have worked for us. We did catch a number of fish 40+ none over 28" and we had to move a lot to stay with fish. It was a damp and cool day overall.
