So...................................

The last few days fisherman extraordinaire and master fishing guide Bill (Quinphoto) and I have been exchanging emails and FINALLY set today to meet up at Heenan. :D:D

As I pulled into the parking lot Bill was right behind me just a few minutes before 9:00 a.m..

We chatted a bit and watched several fish rise and decided to "get the show on the road" and chase 'em.

Well we fished for about 2 1/2 hours in the "rise area" and Bill hooked one while futzing with his line.
Me..........nothing...............:mad::mad:
I did see a couple/few fish swim around my tube about 5-6 feet under me...........:(

Since not much "catching" was happening in the "rise area" we decided to move down the lake a bit.

Bill said he had a couple of hits trolling over to the new spot. :mad::mad:

Nuthin' doing at the "new spot" for a couple more hours...........then.................magically.... ..............the Cutthroat feeding via indo switch turned on for me.

I started getting hits and LDR'ing fish at a pretty good clip and then landed my first of the day. :cool::cool:
Although it doesn't appear very large, It measured (ruler stenciled in my net) 21 inches.
Hummm................... a rat! ;);)

Pheewwwwwww.......................
It Felt REALLY good to get the skunk off my back.
Thank you Bill for snapping a very rare picture of me and a fish !!! :D

Unfortunately, the fisherman extraordinaire and my master fishing guide Bill didn't fare as well. :mad::mad:

Around 4:30 Bill decided to leave, we said our goodbyes, and promised to fish together again soon.

I was the LMS (or last man floating if you will) and I packed it in @ 5:30.

By the way Bill............ I have your walkie-talkie and I'll mail it to you tomorrow or the next.....sorry. :o:o

So, if I remember correctly (I'm VERY tired tonight), I went 8 for 15 with 4 LDR's and a broken off fish between 2:30 and 5:00.
Sheesh............... I didn't even have to resort to the "secret stripping method" today either, but I wonder if I slayed 'em though. :confused::confused:;);)

For the ride home tonight........ a ham & cheese sandwich loaded with potato chips (for the crunch factor) and a small bottle of lime flavored sparkling water.

Dang Cutthroats.............................
