Great Evening

Leigh and I went out of Bronte friday evening with our friends Ron and Wynne-Ann Huinink. Lots of action! I couldn't even get all the rods set up before the fish starting wacking our SD/cut bait rigs. Got this one about 5 minutes into our troll (the pressure was off me early!)

Here's Ron and Wynne-Ann working together to land a fiesty Bow.

The girls really got into it tonight. They fought fish, netted fish, held fish and one time almost kissed a fish...here's Leigh and Wynne-Ann about to land a nice Salmon.

All in all we were 6 for 6. Four 20+ Salmon and 2 Bows. Probably would have had more if we didn't drag around trangled spin doctors for a about a half hour...

Capped the night off with a nice dinner at East Side Marios. Good Times.

Good Ending!

My cousin Paul, David and I went out after work this evening. Had 2 knockoffs and 1 lost fish but when it was nearing time to call it a day we hooked into a brute as we were trolling in.

Here's the fight.

...and here's the fish!


It took at Stinger Hawg Wild on the stacker about 40 down over 70 FOW. The whole way home Paul kept saying "my forearms are killing me" :)

Family Fishing

Went out from Bronte this evening with the whole family. It was a good evening with plenty of action. No big ones but lots of fish to keep the kids interested. Leigh reeled in a couple tonight, including this one.

5 Salmon came off spin doctors and cut bait off the riggers, one bow came off the dipsey with an NK watermelon spoon.

Men and their Girls

Went out tonight with my bud Rob DeWitte and our daughters. 4 girls and 2 Dad's in the boat for 2.5 hours... It actually went quite well. The girls got along great and more or less entertained each other up in the Bow while Rob and I hung out in the cockpit area.


We even got into a nice shark which was very exciting for the girls!


This night ended with one of the funniest situations I've ever been a part of. To make a long story short, the docking of the boat didn't go that well and Rob ended up going for an unexpected swim! Ask me to describe it in detail some time...
