Another fine day of trout fishing down the river!!! Today brought the Tjulanders down for their annual trip. This year we had 6 total and had to inlist the services of Capy. Jeff Fuscia.

I told Jeff he would have his work cut out for him as this group has always had great trips with me. Well neither boat was dissappointed! I did my thang and Capt. Jeff did his as he usually does.

First thing this morning we were greated by a heavy fog as we hit the river. I pulled back and asked Jeff if he wanted to wait or make a run. I could barely see the other side of the river, so it wasnt totally socked in. About that time Capt. Shane came up the rear and we ran down in a three boat caravan. Nice team work. Its great to be able to work together like that. We made it to our location safely and began fishing..... I mean catching!

Right off the bat we began picking up trout, after trout after trout! If wasnt a every cast slam but a good steady pace that brought us to our 75 trout limit at about 11am. Nothing realy huge, but some good eaters for sure. They had a big fish fry planned and it looks like it worked out for them!

After the trout we caught about 10 reds and called it a day. Not too shaby! LIke yesterday we had a ton of fun. Both boats were within hollaring distance and you could tell! There was MUCH trash talking!!! Funny stuff!

Also like yesterday we fished flats and picked up our trout on plastics under a cork. Two interesting things I noticed..... First the fish wanted the cork popped really slow with long pauses. Second most fish were just down current of crab pots. Pay attention to the small things, thats what will change you from a good fisherman to a great fisherman.
