Thursday, Bori and Jill hit the ocean for some summertime Coho Trolling. Now I have to say, based on what Bori is wearing, I find it hard to believe it's "summertime" up in Oregon but I guess he is a little north of us here in Georgia…
Rick and I had a decent Thursday afternoon landing over 15 fish in about 6 hours. We could have caught more but I was doing a lot of "experimenting" which basically means "not catching fish". I like to do this when we get on a consistent pattern that's working; use one rod to get the bite and the other to try things you thought might work but need to know the fish are biting to test your theory. Well, I got to test a lot of "theories" Thursday afternoon and for the most part, none of them panned out. Fortunately I was able to do well jigging and boated a couple including this solid 12 lb'er.
Got out for a quick trip up the lake after hearing about some awesome action early this morning. Turns out all the action was in the morning; we didn't do well but it was a nice day to be on the water and in the end, getting to watch Rick commit another "classic moment" is what days like this are all about…

My buddy Rick finally got his big fish. Caught during the "nite bite", Rick can finally claim he's in the big boys club. This beats out his more common 2 lb Stripers by a long shot!
