Well, my dad heard how good I whave been doing on the Puke so he wanted a fishing lesson, and we met up at six at the river. The tide was later which screwd up the runs upstream, so there were only two or three big pushes of fish. The rest were just the stragglers. But I managed a limit by 9 AM and my dad hooked and crackered two.

We kept fishing while I tutored my pops into getting fish, and he did end up playing one big buck to the net which made my day. I C&Red until it was time to go, my dad stayed a little while longer, I don't know if he got any after I left.

But I guess it's not just the right bait and being there at the right time, you gotta have the right method and the only cure for that is experience. I did give some pointers to the guy getting skunked below me, I fished with him yesterday and limited and he got skunked, he drove to sportco when it opened and came back with the stuff and ended up bagging two before I left.

After the bite died down we drove upstream to check out the upper river, and the fish just aren't there yet. Go low for fun times.
