Fishing Report Week Ending 6/14/09

Fishing or more so the weather had many ups and downs this week. Monday was bright sunny skies and we did awesome. Took out long time friend and client Jeff with a few of his customers. We did real well with about 35 fish, and 3 over 30". Jeff and I have fished together for years, he brings along the food and drink and keeps his customers with well fed and I try to keep them into fish. We usually succeed very well and many come back on their own with friends and family to do another trip.

Tuesday was good till the temps and wind made a drastic change about 1p.m. Prior to that we had about 20 fish with some really fast action for the first 2 hours or so. Later in the week we had lots of rain, We still got out and did ok catching stripers getting about 15 on each 4 hour trip. Not perfect but everyone caught a few.. The large bimini top I can set up on the boat underneath my T-top really helps to keep everyone dry and happy.

Our biggest problem, as the week progressed, was the weeds. With all the rain, many spots I like to fish were thick with weeds and floating debris. The fish were there but we couldn't keep the baits clean which is so important in order to catch fish. Hopefully the weather will start to cooperate and we can really enjoy the fishing.
