We have been chassing these speed demonds for the last two weeks with litle to show for it. Doing everything right, but could not get them on the line.
Today we decided to chunk for Bass. First dropp, I pick a monster Blue and my rod explodes in 3 pieces!!! Nothing is going right. Winds howling, its friggin cold, and I just got over the flue, MISSRABLE!!!
Just about to call it when I decide to run the boat to charge up the batteries and see if we can find some speed freaks.......
Oh ya, we found em, and they were hungry ;D ;D ;D
First one of the trip

Way to go Sean! I have been patiently waiting for you and Whale to give some reports of the fishing since this cool-down in temps we have been getting. I had to milk cows Sunday morning and it was 37 degrees here when I woke up at 4 AM, so it must have been cold when you were out on the water. Anyway nice catch.

Nice CY, I wish we had a better season for these guys, they are hear 1 day ;D, and gone the next :-/
Shawsee, they should still be around strong for atleast a week or so.. I think they are even thicker around your stomping grounds as we speak!!
Thanks Blue & Stinks! I am hopefully heading out tomorrow morning before work for another shot em!
