Wow, what an awesome day. Gator has the pictures on his camera, so I'll get Kaitlin to put them up later.
Got the the 'Vine around 6.45 with Gator and Kaitlin (KT). The parking lot was full of cars still waiting to get in and we were in the 1st line of the second go round.
Then had to wait in line another 20 minutes to launch the boat. I have never seen it that crowded there!
Finally got on the water around 8am, and headed over to the west shore to bait and wait a while. None of us got anything, so after an hour or so we rigged our poles and trolled our way around to the flats.
Headed into the back of the flats and after a few minutes Gator got hit! As he was reeling in, both KT and I also got hit. TRIPLE HOOKUP!!!!!!!!!
KT netted Gators fish, Gator netted mine, but sadly, KT lost hers.
2 minutes after re-casting, she gets hit again. BAM! Fish on! Landed a nice one. Within half an hour, both of them caught another one Great going from my two most favourite people!
Eventually the bite died down - we all farmed a few so we headed back to the launch ramp to get in line to bring the boat in.
Headed up to the tackle shop and said hello to a million people. In the raffle I won a Pheonix T-shirt. Woo. Go me.!
Went down to the Team57 area and gossiped with old friends......Tammy, Mike, Chris, One_Fin, Patrick, BingJR, PoxyBoggards, Omar, Cindy, Armando, and met new ones - Maverick and his wife and the twins!!! Twins rule! Always. (Yeah, being a twin I'm a bit biased!).
Also met HBJapo, IrishCamel, and a whole bunch of other people.
It was really good to see Terry out there today, too!
Dana - the event was another awesome one! Thank you for everything you do for us.
