After meeting so many good people at the striper fest and promisin' a Bako duct trip to many. We suggested Gary bring down someone and we would start to make good on those promises.
Finsmackdown, Feel the peel, Trailblazer, and I converge on 4 sets of gates that have been producing lately. We got on em good. Totals are 18 landed, 5-6 fish farmed, and only 2-3 fish where we had a strike and no hook-up. Very good hook-up to land numbers for out here.
Wind was HOWLING. 30-40mph??? who knows but our casts were been pushed off target as much as 50 ft.
First spot I draw first blood, then second, then third. HAHAHA.. Schools in session Staic boys!!!! Then Finsmackdown busts 2 while farming 1. Feel the peel was worried, could his advanced age finally start to slow him down? NAH!! He busts a fish.
With 6 fish landed and released. All three of us hook-up. A triple! In a span of 30-40 mins we had 9 fish landed and only one fish farmed. On the walk out, against those strong winds I may add. I make a cast and hook up number 10 at that spot. All in about an hour.
Trailblazer couldn't meet up with us so he headed to a different set of gates and caught 3, farmed 2 and missed 2.
After meeting up with him, Gary and Scottie pair up and go for a nice romantic cruise to the next set of gates. Fins and I ride just behind them. Not sure what was going on but that truck was swerving BAD!! All over the road!
We arrive at the next set where I land 1 and farm 1. Gary lands 1 and farms another. TB lands 1. Fins 0
On to next gate. Trailblazer gets 2 and fins farms 2...
Totals: 18 landed, untold farmed and missed fish
