WTG Jay. Way to overcome your screw up.

A year or so back I forgot my nets on my first walleye trip. We hoisted in the smaller ones and reached down and grabbed the bigger fish. Ya do what ya have to do.

thats one way for old dogs to learn new tricks:)

Hey I remember seeing you out there Jay. We were fishing right next to you for awhile. I had the blue and white Starcraft Superfisherman with the 29 Nascar flag on my antenna.

We got a late start but ended up going 5 for 9. Four kings and one steelhead. All on meat riggs. The bigger fish have moved. Last weekend we had fish in the 10 -15# range and this weekend we had nothing bigger than 8#.

See, i told you he could fish. Remeber how worried he was about living up to the hype about how good a fisherman i said he was when he first joined? Now look at him, leaves half the gear home and still fills the box.:lol:

Way to go Jay!

[bluedevil]

Been happy with my Starcraft for over 5 years now, just wish I could get rid of the Mercury 2 stroke.

I mainly monitor 07 but will give you a shout on 68 next time I see ya out there.

[jay d]

i had a 90 horse 2 stroker on mine,i know what you are saying.we went with a 150 honda 4 stroke on the new boat,best motor i have owned.fuel injection rock,fires as soon as you turn the key:grin: we will talk to ya on the water

That is awesome. Every fishing trip usually comes with a story and that is a great one.
