Friday September 18th I took a friend of mine from work out to see about some silvers. Began the run out to the Shipwreck in the dark and arrived at first light with lines in the water at 6:27 am. By 6:40 I had 1 - 5 pound silver and one very nice pink around 7 pounds in the boat. Second bigger than average buck of the year for me and he fought so much better than all of the pinks I caught during the peak of the fishery with exception to the one buck I caught a few weeks back. My next fish, another buck a little bigger than the first, came at 8:20 and again fought great. It’s amazing what a few pounds does to a fish as far as the fight goes. I joked with my buddy Dan that he could play my next fish. I recall fetchitup7 giving me this very same line a few weeks back when he caught 6 of our 8 pinks. Funny! Anyway, Dan’s turn came when his rod finally went off and after a nice fight he landed a very nice silver which was about 8 pounds. That was it until about 11:45 when Dan’s rod went off again this time yielding a silver that was about 10 pounds. Two nice pinks and a silver for me and 2 very nice silvers for Dan. We gave it 2 more hours and headed in at 2pm. One of the first boats out and one of the last few to leave. Fantastic weather! Sunny, very calm, and no wind.
