Everything on boat operates flawlessly.
There are a couple minor marks in the gel coat, but overall the boat looks very good.

Fished out of LP to the north, steady pick all morning. Good numbers but nothing real big other than one nice bow that went back in, 150-225 FOW temp was down around 80'

They had a net right at the tip of Long Point this morning at 0600 that I didn't see until is was nearly on top of it. It was gone by noon but they really should use more than a red milk jug to mark them. With the smallest of chop it was tough to see out there

That fish, I'm 99% sure was from the Lighthouse Derby. I only remember that because I had a just legal size LL that I had drug to death that day in my box for the grill that I ended up weighing because only two other silver fish were entered.
I'm still not sure if I'm going to be able to make this weekend but good luck to all of you that are fishing, god willing and the creek don't rise I will see you all at the weigh-in.

I fish out of Hide Away which is next to Hibicus. It's a haul if you want to fish the south end but I've had good luck fishing the north and it's less crowded.

If it's illegal to put sh!t in the water I guess we won't see Cuomo back up around the fingers again out fear of being ticketed,,so that's an added bonus.
I would like to do it again this year. I'm going to be in California until the beginning of April so it will be a late start on things but we can make it work if you guys are into it. I thought it made things interesting at last years derbies.

Again boys, I'm sorry about the bad info. I sat with Barney back in early April and he gave me the dates I posted then. Not sure why it changed but I guess it did.
LJ
Gentlemen I just spoke to Bear and he confirmed the date of the Fall B&B to be September 27th and 28th. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. I'm not sure how the wires got crossed but the 333 sheet is WRONG.
Rollie I truly hope you can suffer through two straight weekends of fishing, I know it's something you have never tried to pull off before but I have faith that you will be able to pull it off bud.....hahaha

Barney wrote the dates in my planner himself back in March. If they have changed I haven't heard about it. I will call Barney and find out.
