Got in line at 04:00. Boat in the water at 05:10!!! We scratched out fish from between the other 300-350 boats. McFisherson 13 boated 4 and I boated 3. We fished hard and long to get what we got. If it were not for an explosive 10 minute period in the afternoon I would have come home with only 1 fish. I had just changed it up for the umpteenth time. I boat 2 fish and missed a 3rd in that amount of time. I had been about four hours without a bump.
I had my blood pressure checked when a cavalier fellow decided to cut in line just before the ramp!!!Having started in line back at the stop sign at the high school an hour before, I had to give him a piece of my mind. I did my best to humiliate him in front of his 10-12 year old. He told me it was a merging intersection. I told him a few things that can't be posted on this site. I also told him this was no way to be raising the next generation of sportsman and he should be ashamed of himself. So, after that I did my best to recover, settle in and catch some Socks. It was a long day and if not for the burst of action in the afternoon I'd have rated it a 2 star day. There are fish to be had. But, patience getting on and off the water & while dancing with all the other boats is needed for this fishery. Sorry no pics. Mark took them all.
