Hit the CR dark and early this morning, with longtime fishing amigo and Team Lutefisk co-conspirator OughtforTrouht

and his thirteen-year old son Ben. We were the second boat out right behind AndyCoho.
The tide was still flooding so we decided to drag some herring around for awhile. Nada. :whazzup: As the tide turned we decided to sit on the hook in the usual “honey hole”. We hadn’t been there half an hour when we get a call from Silver Hilton (who’s your buddy?). Hey, the boat inside of us just landed one. Ok that’s cool. Twenty minutes later next call, hey we just released a big nate! Hmmm, well I may look dumb, but…

. Up comes the gear and a few minutes later were anchored right beside Silver Hilton (who’s your buddy?). After several hours and not a lot of excitement, SHOWTIME. After a brief battle Brian lands this cute hatchery brat for a quick hickory shampoo..
A couple hours later his son Ben gets the pound down! Same result, nice cookie cutter hatchery fish.
I called home and said I’d be a little later than expected. Hoping for number three. But that was the end of the show for us. We busted out about three PM.
Me, hmmm, the skunk paid another visit. Oh well there’s always next time. Aren’t we fishermen an optimistic bunch

!
Here’s a picture of Dad and Lad.
Thanks SH, always a pleasure fishing by you. By the way, you’re da buddy! See ya next weekend….
Well I'm tired and sunburned, time for bed!
