Launched at public launch next to Arnie’s at 8am. Turned west at end of inlet.  Interestingly there was hardly a whisper of a breeze but fairly large swells coming out of the east.  Not bad but the large swells seemed odd to me.

we hammered the Browns with a few Atlantic’s mixed in.  Largest brown was 9 lbs.  Lost count early on but we landed 25-30 fish.  Three of us on the boat and we had 2 triples, and at least 5 doubles.  Most were in the 5-9lb range and plenty of little guys.  20fow was best for us.  J-5’s and 7’s. Brown trout pattern was tops but everything took fish.  Best temp was 38deg.  All planer board action.  Pulled out at 3pm.  Hey, note the life jackets.

I think we all need to practice more catch and release to insure the future of the fishery, plus it's way more fun catching then killing, just my opinion.

love my Fishmaster!! is that the 210 or 196?

[hassellmania]

I am sorry I see now it is the 196.  I have the 210 and it is a fishing machine.  Have a great season.
