SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Dropped in around 80' and trolled to about 160'. Got a little to rough with the rollers for my 16' Lund.

Picked up and went back in to about 100'. Set rigger with Carbon 14 at 70', wire at 130' with SD and Atom-Mik fly & 5 core with pink/yellow Reef Runner. Trolled towards shore into the wind to about 80'. Raised rigger to 65'

Had a screamer on the wire but was off by the time I got to it. A release on the rigger but got off after about a 20' retrieve. Caught small Brown (6-7#) on Carbon 14 at 65', 12# Bow on core and 11# Brown on rigger at 65'.

All hits were trolling into the wind. Tough day controling the boat alone with fish on while going into the wind. The Bow went all over the place and ended up crossing the wire and wrapping it. Lucky I landed him.
