Haywire/ July 19th/ Oak

[Kooter469]

           Well we finally put together a trip worth reporting. We started out so good in April with the Browns and man has it been a tough go for us ever since. We did take a few weeks off because i was blessed with the birth of my 2nd child. A pretty little girl we named Lily, cant wait to get her a life time license. But any who we ended up battling engine problems for May and June. Ended up doing a extensive tune up, 2 new batteries, and a day playing with the electronic choke and adjusting air fuel mixture, idle, throttle linkage etc. So with the Haywire back to her old self we were ready to slay some fish!........ya right . I will be completely honest for 5 out of are 9 trips this year i was lucky if i could get a Laker to bite. Thought we really turned a page this year with the way we beat up the Browns but Lake Ontario gave us a big old dose of . Better to use the mooning guy there than what i wanted to say  . So yesterday we headed out with the attitude lets go derby fishing, have fun and FISH THE WAY WE FISH! Found ourselves a real nice pocket of hungry fish. Are 50 to 60 riggers started firing steady. All spoon bite and the leads were anywhere from 30 to 50 off the ball. Even did a nice steely on a cheater. We let 5 go to fight another day had to keep 1 we wished we could of let go but he would not have made it. I had a great crew on board and we laughed and joked and ended the day 10 for 15 we lost 2 big boys. Who knew that sticking a Frito in your belly button would be good luck, but yesterday it was. Every time the one goof ball would do it we would take a bite . So after losing those 2 nice ones i told him to leave the Frito in his belly button till the fish were boarded....it worked, oh well it was funny. Ended the day with are lead cores off the boards doing the work for us. Had 2 absolute screamers that stretched are lead core right out and we landed them both. Beers and Jay were awesome netting, driving etc love fishing with those guys, and we got Scotty his BFE Biggest fish ever! For the first time in a while my little boy Tommy got to run out of the house to check out a decent looking cooler  Looking forward to next Saturday. Got some work to do on the Haywire to get her ready. Good luck to all in the derby. Few of these pics are from earlier trips.
