Welcome aboard and than you for your service. Good luck out there in the big pond. This board is a wealth of information. There are lots of good people here that will get you up and running.
I have been out of the fishing loop for a few years. I am a veteran of the United States Army and Iraq war (first one). I have been going thru some rough times mentally for the last two or three years. It’s funny how long it takes for things to catch up to one.— Nuff said.
Those of you that know me probably wonder why and where did I go, since you have not heard from me in a LONG time.
Well I got a phone call from a couple of old friends last week asking me to go derby fishing with them. Captain Steve Drave and Captain Rich Fiandach, Blind Squirrel Sport Fishing Charters. We derby fished off shore out of the Port of Rochester and our main goal was to run off shore to target Kings for two days. We found the Kings on the 1st day and caught many Kings, just shy by ounces both days to place a fish on the LOC board. We also caught steelhead and lake trout? WTH are those lakers doing so deep?? Here are a few pics from my return to fishing trip, I’M BACK sos look out, LOL.
So if anyone out there is looking for a person to go Pro Am or derby fishing I’m game, hell I might even entertain the idea of begin an observer, lol, I sold my boat, get in touch.
It’s good to be back !!
Thank you Steve and Rich for getting me back to the sport I love !! ( emotional )

Cliffhanger,
Thats a good question. Last Saturday we were running Familiar Bite in a Rhys Davis Teasers Head @ 2.3 we hit a good size salmon 27 pounds so we slowed down to 1.9 to reel in and net @ 1.9 the 500 copper takes of with a similar set up, double up on salmon. Some say the bigger fish like slower speeds. However I have caught fish going a lot faster IE 3.5 down speed.

I have you on video shooting across our bow, at a safe distance, flying! you may have been the smallest boat there but that is one fast boat you have. Nice report and congrats on your finish.
Please post your pictures, and tell us a little bit about the catch. Where you caught it , date, and on what.
Please post the congratlations on another thread
Thank You Mark
