[ray koziatek]

Well we all know what happens when our team gets togeather , focuses, planes, and excutes a smooth thought out stratigy that no other team can possably figure out...WE WIN !!!!!!!!!

Yes!

Well We arrived late Thursday so prefishing was out and a Stop at "Mattys resturant" in Wilson started our trip with the best desserts in NY.

Friday we got on the water (casey my son ,Musky and me), and laid out a failproof stratigy that No other team could figure out.

Feeling secure in our plan it was off to the Captians / Observers meeting in Wilson for orderbs ,commaraderie , and seeing old faces and friends from previous years of Derby fishing.

Day 1 saturday was the" time to shine for us" we (Jason,Musky and me) followed our plan with the confedence of a well trained solder heading into a mine field of fish...

Our setup was perfect and failproof within 5 Hours we get our first fishon . Yes our plan is comming togeather as Jason grabs the rod screaming and reeling like a little girl.

Well their was no need for a net with jason on the rod as the fish swims to the boat,sticks out its tounge ,and swims away to freedom.

within just a mear hour we get our second hit screaming away from the boat, once again Jason shows his strength on the rod and his thumb on the reel stops and pulls the 4 lb steelie 6 ft out of the water , again this fish showed his displeasure with our hooks stuck out his tounge and swam away after his free ride to the surface.

With a mear couple hours left to fish it was game on!!!!

I sent jason to his seat as Musky continued his precision straight circles and pulled in 3 fish blindfolded (musky not me he musta been!) all to small to keep so we end day one and run the 5 miles in 2 to 3 ftrs back to the weighin with a perfect score sheet..................

Luckly sunday was a blowoff so we didnt need to defend our title of ::::::::

LAST PLACE WITH "O" FISH!!!!!! to weigh in.

This was our first perfect sheet with no messy fishy smell in our derby attempts..and we won the destinct honor of the "DONUT AWARD"
