A similar pattern today with an unproductive morning creating marked wheelhouse anxiety while our anglers relaxed, enjoyed the fine weather, and a few beverages of their choice. Again the signs of fish, both on and around the banks, is adequate with scattered spots showing no interest in the morning hours. Thankfully though, the afternoon was the time again today, and the size average was closer to the range we are hoping for. Four over two hundred came over the rail with another five in the one hundred thirty to one hundred seventy five pound class from one afternoon drift that showed real promise before petering out at sundown. Not surprisingly, Gary "Big Fish" Sato was the man of the day with a two fifty six while Bart Ryder's two forty seven and Kevin Leong's two forty five ran a close second and third. Needless to say we have no intentions of leaving this area as long as we can keep scratching in this perfect weather pattern. With easy bait close by and the potential for a big hit on these cows, we are in the game we were hoping for.

Our overall sense is that one day at a time will be the trip mantra as one definitely gets the feeling that it would be easy to miss around here if you are even a little out of step. In other words they are definitely here, but we are going to have to earn every one of them. We will see tomorrow.
