I guess you could call this, ...making hay while the sun shines, ....hadn't heard from anyone all week, ...so the fishing prospects for the weekend looked rather dismal....
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon/cry.gif)
Joe had an open spot for today, ....and I managed to persuade him and Squig to give Bronte another try...
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Original plan was to meet at the launch at one, .....I left around 12:15, ....it took a half an hour to drive the first 50 miles, ....and a half an hour to drive the last 2 miles, .......ya know, ....transport trucks, ......really suck....
![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon/twisted.gif)
Luckily they were a "little" behind as well, ...or said they were anyways....

The boat's afloat and we're ready to shove off.....
![Image](http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/096066.jpg)
We head to the usual stomping grounds and set up shop, ....water temp was 51 degrees.....
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
I go with the green again on one side, ......except the dipsey, cause Joe was putting all green on the other side too.... went with a J13 silver black, ....it didn't matter, .....cause we marked nothing, .....and caught nothing, .....all along there
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon/confused.gif)
Decision time, ...keep shallow and head around past the harbour, ....or try deeper....
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon/eek.gif)
From reports I heard, ...we decided to try deeper, ....I was still reluctant to give up on the green, ...so I changed the dipsey to a blue Xrap....
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
As we got deeper, ....just dropped the balls and let more line out on the dipsey's ....We were in about 60ft. and I had just finished letting the dipsey out some more, ....when the line starts screaming, .....Since I'm right there, ....I grab it,
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
Ya know, ....fishing in other people's boats is neat, ....you get to play more fish....
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
She put up a pretty good battle, ....but squigy got to be my netman for a change...
![Image](http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/096056.jpg)
We retraced our steps but didn't hook into anything else, ....we decided to keep going out to 100ft or so and see what happens,
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
....Nothing,
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon/cry.gif)
However, .....decide it's no worse than shallow, ....so we stay at that depth and head back up towards the pier.....
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
We're chatting away when the other dipsey goes, .....Joe grabs this one and the fight is on...
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
Three days later, ...or so it seemed....
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
![Image](http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/096057.jpg)
We really weren't marking nothing out there, .....but we keep going, ......same dipsey fires again and it's squig's turn....
Another nice fish in the boat

After tweaking the presentation a little bit........
Bingo..... my second today.....
![Image](http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/096060.jpg)
We're still not marking squat down there, ....but the proof is in the pudding, ...so to speak....
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
Another hit, ....We lost it on the hand off unfortunately, .....damn!!!!!
4 for 5 so far, .....I hate losing fish.....
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon/cry.gif)
We're set up again, the rigger fires,
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon/eek.gif)
This fish would have been a great derby fish for last weekend, .....30 lb. anyways, ....33 by Joe's scale, ...but he said it weighs a little high
![Image](http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/096062.jpg)
We had just about everything in now, ....so decided to call it a day, ...afternoon, ....evening, ...whatever....
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
Back at the launch, ...we loaded and tied down the boat, ...then relaxed for a bit......
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

So we ended up 5 for 6, ...I finally caught a fish out of Joe's boat, ....Squigy gets his PB king,( ....I'm gonna start charging him I think, ...everytime we go out, ...he gets a "first" something...
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
Thanks for the invite Joe, .....It was a fun way to spend a friday, ....from the insults, ....to the high fives, ....a couple of great guys to head out with.....
