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.
