Ron was not sure to go ahead with the tourney as there was only 5-7 boats who were expected ( I would of thought more would of been interested). Well at 6:30 am at the launch Ron asks those of us that came with money in hand what we wanted to do. As a group we decided to go ahead and since the wind was howling straight down the reach and onto the ramp we decided to convoy over to Prinyers Cove launch. By 8am everyone is fishing. Eye Tracker and I are fishing together in his boat and boy let me tell you I was spoiled.
He drove the boat and I rigged and reeled the rods. All in the comfort of a wrap around windshield with full stand-up top. Someone said it was windy, I didnt notice
We caught 1 on the DR. (8lbs.)and then within minutes another on the DR. (8.9lbs) then nothing for hours ... finally another fish on the deep diving crystal minnow. A fat 12 lber. We happen to be trolling past the launch site and realize everybody has called it quits. I asked Ron what the leading weight was and the reply was zero. So Eye Tracker and I had won it all!!
20.9lbs for 2 fish. For our efforts $400.00, a line counter reel and rod from Okuma and a tackle box with a bunch of baits and lures. $250. went to the charity to support their fishing program in the upcoming year. Ron plans on trying again next spring during june. Heres a pic.
