Hello FNN'rs!

Well, sorry for this late report but work and more have got me all tied up...thats why its great to get some "fishing time" again at the Vine.

Got the call the night prior from my buddy woody that he got his boat running again, and asked me to take him fishing...this time on his boat for some trolling. From all my fishing trips with Woody, we've always had full stringers, so this time I felt we had to do the same. Woody was all jazzed out, and said he'd be at the lake at 6...I rolled in at 9 :Wink: had some extra zzzZZ's on sunday... Saw the boys, and played catchup with Nick, Whitney, TM65, and the kitchen staff..mmmMMM makes me hungry thinkin bout the food there right now lol- got some bait, just in case and went down to meet Woody at the docks.

He didnt get anything the first couple hours except a few short bites on the troll...noticed that it was very overcast, and the water level is definately up say 3-5'+ Trout island is an island now, and only accessible by boat or swimming! lol...jk. After noticing the changes, i figured to do a trial troll around...while on the troll we changed up colors all day...it was now coming up around noon, and we've only managed to get a few bites, but nothing 100%..then along the shoreline, we see a few trout hitting the surface! That brought up our hype, and we continued on..started metering fish finally..then BAM..FISH ON! First fish on, and its a fighter...jumped about 4 times out of the water...ended up being a nice 2lbr steelie!...i continued to monitor fish, so i told Wood its on!...just then woods line goes bendo, but no taker...then it comes back BAM-FISH ON, Woody on his first trout of the day...that was within 5minutes...another 2lbr..we're on the school...we made another pass and i got nailed...3rd fish, a nice 3lb steelie and this guy didn't know he was hooked until we got him towards the boat..zzzzzzZZZZZ said the abu drags...yeaahh!!! We contiuned on the hot bite all the way til the end...when Patrol boat came around. We had teh hot bite for the last 2 1/2 hours. Ended up with 5 trout- 1 3lbr, and the other 4 1-2lbrs. 3 of our trout were steelies, including the 3lbr- had brilliant silver colors, and the meat...well I gave them to my parents and family, and there were NO LEFTovers :)

k, tight lines

FISH ON!

Yeah I know him through my friend Chris, Hi girl and her sister were also friends with my old boss...so now I know him three different ways..kinda funny. We tease the hell out of him becuase he loves to talk smack, but we never see him fish hahaha. Good dude though for sure.
