Birthday bust ........well almost
Well not may knew my b day is just past Charlies and I usually take it off every year to fish. Was meeting a friend so I decided the LFZ to start. He is always late and it is a good pace to meet. Got there at just before 8 and by 830 I had gotten a nice steel on and a Coho on. Good start. Buddy shows up at 0930 and there is nothing else going on. I mean maybe 1 or 2 hook ups by 1100. We leave and fish the snag and I hook something on an egg sac, it fought like a brown. Cross and go down to the conga line at the fridge and nothing there. We put on a TON of miles and saw little to no fish. I usually remember most of my b day trips and this by far was the absolute worst one on record. Nearly no dead fish and very few eggs on gravel. This year is worse than last in my books. I was trying for some eggs, but luckily I have some from last year that thawed nice. There were also a ton of people at each spot. More people then fish. Well Al least I won the pic contest so the day was not a total bust.
