Gold Spoon Hex Broken

6.7.11

Tide: High and outgoing

Water temp: 84 deg.

We decided to hit Lanark with the wind blowing hard out of the east south east.

We headed west out of Lanark and started throwing the Big EZ and Hunter had the gold johnson spoon on.  We were throwing baits that wouldn't hang in the suspended weeds.  Hunter was commenting on how he has never caught a fish on a gold spoon.

It wasn't long before Hunter said "I think I've got one".  I turned to watch him looking puzzled as the fish swam towards the boat and suddenly realized it was hooked.  Hunter's new Johnny Morris reel got it's drag worked out as Hunter's thought of "having one" turned out to be true.  A nice 22" red came aboard.

It wasn't long before he hooked up again and brought this nice multi spotted red aboard.

We worked our way up and down the coast and ended up with 6 nice reds, of which two were keepers.  They bit well on this smoky morning, but eased up as the sun got up.  We hit some docks but to no avail.
We loaded up the tin boat and put the hex of the gold spoon behind us.

Oyster Bar Multi Specie Catch Fest

6.6.11

Tide: High to outgoing

Water Temp: 83 Deg.

Hunter and I wanted to get out and try to find some fish for the upcoming Big Bend Classic.  Seeing we had a high tide first thing in the morning, we took the tin boat, Nan, out for a oyster bar milk run.

Heading over to the banana bar for the first attack and we were rewarded with some 3 nice flatties which two came home with us for dinner.  They were eating Hunter's gulp.

Hunter was pretty much on fire today.  He was feeling it with his new rod and reel.

We hopscotched around the bars avoiding the worst water as the wind was blowing hard from the north right down the river.

I caught a couple of nice blues.  At our last stop, the white bar, the bait was stacked up.  Hunter had been throwing the bonkadonk with no success all morning.  I said, "I'm gonna catch one here with it, here we go" and bingo, nice trout.

I even had a small cobia on a swimbait here.  

It was getting hot, so we headed to the Mashes with a good multi specie day slugfest behind us.
