Not Enough Hours in a Day!! Fishing Report....sigh

(This is rushed, and I have no time to proof read, so please excuse any typos! I'll fix them another time!)

Anyway,  I didn't report anything one the holiday weekend, because I never do on Memorial day weekend.  But, a long story short...it was a two boat deal with Capt Kevin Swartz. He took three people and I took 3 people.  4 of the 6 were older gents, and two were younger. They were happy to get out. We fished 3 out of the 4 days scheduled, because the last day was a blow day. My boat only caught little fish, but Kevin got into the larger ones on a spot I had fished the day before....(deep sigh).  They had fun though...and, were happy that we didn't take them the last day, because it was rough.

Fast forward to today...I fished with Brothers, Steve and Brian, and their Dad Jake, who was celebrating his 80th birthday. I picked them up at their hotel at 4:45 and we went over to Big Bopper's for breakfast, before launching over at Mazurik's at 5:45.

We headed to the north side of Kelly's and ran Bandits on one side of the boat, and spoons behind #2 Tadpoles on the other side of the boat. The action was steady, but the size was smaller. We would catch 1 keeper for every 3-4 throw backs.

We moved over to the east side of Kelly's, and made one pass from the top, down to "Airport Reef", and didn't touch a fish, so we picked up to move again.  We ran back around to the north side again and made another pass. This time though, there were a lot more boats in there, and I couldn't get on the line I wanted, and decided to move again.  

But, before we did....I changed everything over to crawler harnesses with 1 and 2 oz inline weights. We ran two 1oz inlines and 4 2oz inlines and one 4oz bottom bouncer.  All of them took fish, or had their crawlers stolen. Again, we only caught smaller fish. I think our largest fish today was only 20 inches. Not something I'm used to, or am liking very much. lol

Anyway....Jake had a great birthday present, he said. And,  the sons both enjoyed the day, expressing how nice the Ranger 621 is, and how comfortable it is to  fish out of. They were also impressed with the Ulterra being used in conjunction with the baby ETEC kicker for steering and propulsion....something I guess I take for granted, that other people never thought of doing before. :)

Im sorry to rush, but it's already past my bedtime here. 

 I got a lot done this afternoon when I got home. I cut the grass, washed and re-oiled the picnic table, walked the dogs, did the dishes, did the laundry, helped neighbor Jerry pick the rest of his strawberries from his garden, re-rigged the rods for tomorrow, because I'll be running spoons instead of crawlers, and watered my gardens. I'm done...put a fork in me. :)

So, sorry I haven't blogged in a few days, but sometimes LIFE gets in the way...

Time for bed....have a great night!

Tomorrow we fish....stay tuned!
