Point Breeze Browns +

[FX]

Fished this morning aboard "Bobber Down" with Ed and Jeff and we had a blast. Headed west of port with a plan to fish as long as we could. We found some stained water that we worked all morning boating 20 or so fish. Hard to believe the weatherman was wrong with forecasted winds from the south that were actually from the N/E!!! We lasted until 11:15 or so with 2-3' waves and the wind picking up. Planer boards with lines back 50-100' running small bright colored sticks was the ticket today. We had a few doubles and 2 triples with mostly browns to 10lbs, a small coho, and a nice steelhead. Great time with a lot of laughs and "wish you were here" texts to friends who called us names.... ! At some point it was decided that Ed would be re-naming "Bobber Down" to "Bas-turd" and Jeff would be re-naming his boat "White Chitty" and as always - what happens on the boat - stays on the boat - unless you have to "dump" it overboard!!!!

On a serious note: this post is dedicated to Capt. Jim Shambaugh who couldn't be out there with us today because he is battling cancer. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Here are some pics from today:

Thanks for the update and the nice pics for those still trying to thaw out in VT and wishing we were there. Was planning on being there in a few weeks, but can't get to the boat that is still covered.

Capt. Jim will be on our prayer list and we will keep him in prayer daily! May the good Lord bless and keep him strong!

Champ99B, anyone who served this country so we can have the luxury of being a proud American is a true friend of mine, I have uncles and friends who served in Nam, and my heart and hand goes out to all the VETS. of this country.    One of my buddies who fishes with me is going through the cancer bit as we speak and they claim it's from the crud he was exposed to over there, and my brother has the same $hit, CANCER SUCKS!!!

[CHAMP99B]

PAP….Thank you very kindly for your words….it was my pleasure to serve this country for people just like you !!!

Very nice fish. Our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery for Capt. Jim. We've lost way too many of our Vet brothers. May God be at his side.
