SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Took the day off and launched the Lilboat at dawn with Larry and Craig with RJ going on Jim's LilLund to try to find the fish.

Tried the harbor and out front in the mud but no hits.

Tried east and managed a couple smaller (~22") Atlantics and a Coho.

Saw some nets move on the other boats working the area.

Had some fun with a beautiful atlantic (personal best) that gave awesome aerials along with several tail walks by the boat.

Nice job Larry and Craig with the help on landing it.

Last couple fish were decent brownies.

Ya have the hot hand on finding quality fish.

Hands were actually cold in the AM when we fished and it was Larry driving Lilboat when it hit. ;)

Craig was the one who saw the Lilplaner take the shot and I was just lucky enough to be sittin next to the rod. :o

It sure made for some excitement.

Another nice day on the O at The Oz.

lilboat, congrats on a great fish. i was out there that morning as well in the 16' duckboat fishing solo with the planer board mast and otter boats. we were both fighting fish the first time i passed you. ended up going 6 for 8 all browns. only fished 3 1/2hrs as i was having motor trouble(turned out to be a bad spark plug). nice to see you guys getting it done in a small boat too. best, mark

You know I admire the stones you guys have fishing in the 16' boat. I was just reading a saltwater fishing forum where this guy in South Florida takes his 16' boat offshore 15-20 miles at night and is catching 200-300 lb swordfish in it. THAT takes some stones!

Get an acurate weight on him?

No weight yet....

Fish is in the freezer wrapped waiting to take to the taxidermist :clap:

King and I IV"

Any fin clips or was it fully intact?

Will look close when we unwrap it.

Lilboat is a deep-V-14 ft. that seems to put ya on fish. It doesn't take big balls ....(down riigger has only 4lb ball :D ) so much as common sense (as when/where to launch/ when to get off the lake) which is similar to the bigger boats.

Thanks for the feedback guys :yes:

It should be a good fishing season we're just warming up..... :clap:

Here's another fishin story and its true and happened on the trip we got the nice Atlantic.

We're trolling along where we've been havin some action and Craig's rod takes a shot dragging a stick bait.

He fights the fish for bout 5 min. and just as we're almost within netting range the decent brown does some head thrashing and SNAP goes the line ;(

About a minute later Larry's noodle rod bout has the tip bent into the water.

He grabs it and says he "might have the bottom".

I say we're in 18ft and then he says "the bottom" is moving and he's hooked up with a decent fish.

He gets it to the boat, I net it and hand it upfront to Craig to unhook.

Craig says, "You're not gonna believe it but I just got my stick bait back." :yes:

The way I figure it those browns must be hungry/aggressive and/or just enjoy the ride. :clap:

Fish hits stick, fights 5 min. gets off, minute goes by and hits a different stick with one already in its mouth..... it makes ya wonder what it was thinking..........
