Too much info!

Clean and tidy but a bit noisy during execution.   Sadly, as people my age know, sometimes they can get away from you ...  certainly appreciate your concern though    

I believe the line from The Bucket List was, "never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on and never trust a fart. "

It is strange, as even though I am 0 for 6 on the fly (I am usually 0 for by this time of the year) I have seen a fish hooked by someone else on just about every trip out, including on Sunday at Browne Rd (I usually don't see so many hooked by other fishermen).  I never would have realized it was so slow.

Yea , for me this is the worst year on the vedder I've had .

I went out for my 2nd trip of the year to the Vedder (have been fishing the island mostly this season with limited success). Truth be told, I was not expecting much even with the water conditions as good as they were. I hiked around the "mid" Lower for an hour and found a nice patch of flow that no one was fishing...until I headed towards it. Someone on the other side met me as soon as I cast in - luckily he stayed put. I worked my way down the short run and missed a light hit. I worked the run another 2x until I had a solid hit. The fight did not last too long, 5 min at most. I landed a nice 12lb hatchery doe. She had some gorgeous roe and plenty of it. Some new arrivals across the river saw where she hit and gave it a go - not a bad strategy I guess. One pulled in what looked like her twin size wise (from what I could see from across the river). For those interested in the gear, I was fishing coho roe (from a very good salt water season), #2 gammy, split shot and a zeppler drennan.

Nicely done JustinG. Great pics as well. Did a 6k walk and cast last friday, didn't see anyone with a fish the whole time.
Only got one on for a couple of head shakes. saw chris on the other side and he had not a lot of success either.

Thanks for the report, alway's good to hear of someone catching something. It's so slow this year that when a person catches one it's like they won the lottery !!! And I bet it feel's about the same.

Sooo true. Just have to keep at it.
 I guess similar to the saying in the movie (field of dreams), If you walk and cast, the fish will come.

After all, it is those long fishless days that drive us to get back out there even hungrier!

I thought I would post something positive since my last was rather negative. I definitely got a winning ticket last Saturday.

They eggs were pretty firm, no singles that I really noticed. They cured up quite nicely. Hopefully I can use them on the Stamp in a couple weeks.

Capman, email me at the address in my profile and I can get back to you.
