stopped for a few coffees for the road and we're off to quinte. well i think everyone knows the reputation that hortons coffee has and was hoping for a little break before we hit Picton. do you think these guys would stop, nope. pull into Picton and it was a mad dash to the little boys room
![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon/redface.gif)
ok were on the water and Hoss was itching to try a 6 rod spread, out go 6 lines and think we managed pretty good all day with no serious tangles. things were slow for a bit then the first board takes off. Fish-on and FFF steps up to the plate. heres a pic of the fight

FFF get it boat side and the fish spits the hook, this one would have been the biggest of the day by far, i dont think even Hoss would have got his mitts around this one.

we turned around for another pass and nothing, pulled the lines and motored back to troll with the wind at our backs. board takes off and "Fish-On", Hoss's turn.

i look at the pic on the camera and notice the expression on his face on this one and ask him, "Hoss, what are you doing"? his reply, "im blowing on the fish"...... i had to ask," why?"
"to make his fin stand up"

"but what if its a female"

back in the drink he/she goes and almost right away another board takes off and its my turn to see if i can Finally get my first double digit eye. get it to the boat and land a nice 25" 6.5lbs eye.

right know we are 2 for 3 and the razzing starts again on FFF for missing the first one. i think our mission then was to make sure that everyone brings in a fish and sure enough "Fish-ON". FFF's turn and were teasing him that its a Sheepie. we were thinking that what ever this was it had some shoulders on it. unclip the board and still 220' yet to come in
