sleep is overrated
I was hoping for a kick back day at the Vine today, after getting less than 2 hours sleep. I had promised FisherBrat that I'd take him fishing if he finished his creative book report. He made a mobile, and I set him up with 8 pound flourocarbon, and we practiced some of our knots!
But by the time I finished packing the truck and doing all the other dirty work, it was 2:30am...had just enough time for a 2 hour nap...no worries. It's a 10 minute drive to the gate. And I figured it was just gonna be me and Cindy and my boy, so how much more laid back could it get? Even looked like a better chance for relaxation as we noted a remarkably short line (two lanes at 6am) and very mild, warm windless weather.
Fisherbrat and I hit the Flats around 6:15am and started unloading next to Robert, last year's tournament winner. Robert already had one in the basket. Cindy pulled in next to us. I was still getting the our stuff out the car when Cindy got hit, one minute after casting!
Within 5 minutes, Garrett was on!
Powerbait was the hot ticket for Robert through most of the morning; it landed our first two. Later, Cindy and FisherBrat got steady hits on plastics, powermouse combo.
it was relentless! After about a couple of hours, the bite settled down and Cindy and I were able to hang out with our favorite dude Patrick.
and Garrett had time to make his own rodholderSorry Yamafish!
Robert and Garrett got double limits by 11 am, and Cindy also limited out at 5! Her first limit! You go girl!
Our "laid back" Sunday at the Vine ended by noon; just enough time to go home and really relax.
keepin it dirty,
Dirty Girl
