I'm the fingers of doom when it comes to posting a picture Roy. Geez.
Go Ahead and flash them up there.
Went out Wedsnday with Roy for our annual spring trip/day of laughs.
Started at 6:30am leaving Sooke Harbour Marina, what a diffrence from the old spot, 100 times better.
Out and around the corner short run and checked with one of Roys contacts.
Their here Roy got 2 in the boat right off there -- x feet of water.
Quick consultation, lets move and try over there I've seen this before, and I think they might be hanging there.
All right with me, I know enough to listen to solid advice.
Roy got us to the spot rod down, I'm driving not even 2 minutes fish on!!
Got that one in the boat in short order,high twenties for sure, guys not too bad of a rod man.(wink)
For the next half hour could only get one rod down at a time.
Just mental, hard hits short runs, hard hits nothing, hard hits, Dan screws up. Roy laughs, rookie.
Soft hits, pin poppers on and on.
Just plain stupid.
So we finally pickup another one in the twenties, The guide is now teasing the customer non stop about sorting through the runts.
Man I'm getting tired of all this work.
I'm old
Then it goes slow.
Hmmm... after awhile his buddy is back on the radio Blue Wolf, Blue Wolf, it's on.
Nothing else is said.
Off we go.
Spot we stopped at on the way out, we start working it Pal comes over we're done Roy, 6 in the boat, best day for me and my buddies in years.
Off they go.
Couple of tacks bang Roys got another one, damn him...
Gets it up beside the boat, pretty fiesty roars around looks like its done starting too roll on its side, zip with the net I get it in or do I?
Its doing the tuna and its sliding out.... couple shakes of the net extend the arms.... we got her.
Roy looks at me... quick thinking boy.
Fish for another half hour or so bang pin popper and away she goes,I'm on it... crap I can't remember whose turn it is.
My turn? Yeah go for it.
Good fight, get it up beside the boat, Roy says not much of a fight out of that one eh Dan?
Man I'm happy I didn't birdsnest the reel or yank the hook out.
I'm concentrating on directing the fish into the net.
Roy says I think its got another run in it.... splashes the net beside the fish.. yep shes got another run for sure.zzzzzzzzzzz
Get it back up and I'm thinking whats next?
Quick flip shes in the boat.
We're done and its not even noon.
Man what a clinic, great time again Roy.
I've learned so much from you over the years,You made me work for it though, just enough to make me think each time.
Thanks for sharing with me.It's really made me passionate about fishing again.
Thanks Roy.
Dan.
