I decided I needed a mental health day yesterday, I headed to the storage unit to get the boat instead of work.
I went to the Lincoln launch, did not get there till 8:ish. nobody else there. seems the water was up some from the last time out. the wind was up some which made the launch fun by my self. I headed down to sterling point.
I got lines in the water around 9: trolled for 1/2 hr before the first fish. a nice 15 incher.
second fish a short time later, made the old Penn real sing, I cranked down the drag some and still this thing pull line. got him in the boat a nice "just short of" 21 (20 3/4) incher. the next was another 15, then the surface line goes off, I thought I had let myself get blown to close to some rocks but it turned out to be the other carryover.
one more with the lead and back to the launch about 10:30.
using the home made flys, orange and red on both lines. (3 week old worms that still looked good and did not seem to scare off any fish. a very relaxing day. just a few hours that made me feel like I had a vacation..
I am really enjoying the new Hand me down boat, the prickly Pair.
