I don't know why, the conditions are not favorable, but DSR is reporting another decent pod of fish moving up through the low end. A buddy of mine fished it yesterday and did real we'll in the morning till it turned off by lunchtime. He then went mid river and found a pile of them in some deep pockets after a lengthy hike. So far a strange season at play here. Also about 8 guys were nailed in sportsmanship hole yesterday using Michigan crickets yanking salmon. Word has it the ECOs are just hanging around the training center waiting for calls. So if you see these snaggers make the call.

It is completely dead out here in 125 fow. Not even a wind flag. All the boats though are way out beyond us .. Ugh.

Tuna tell the bro in law to get out where the action is at, boat wont get dirty

Yeah...what he said

We are still a blank without a rod shake. I see some dudes passing through us (100fow) and hook up but keep going deep . We tried 150fow, boat packs were beyond us still.
Oh well pretty un eventful day so far but sure beats work.
Big water tomorrow so maybe some river scouting and hope she lyes down in the evening with a fresh batch of fish.
It ain't over yet :)

Andy- even though there will likely be a push on the upcoming weekend high water I am coming up tomorrow night for a few days- wanna get there before the crazy season begins. House and yard chores too.
 One or two will make my trip if none thats OK too-just wanna be there while I can still find some privacy lol.
 Have been wondering what rod to use in the low warm conditions.
 The 11' 8 wt switch has become my favorite weapon but am seriously considering the shorter heavier 9 wt  and some heavier leader 14 down to 12 to bring fish in faster for the release in these conditions.
 Suggestions-----??

Thanks folks-will be the Switch and 14.

Likely will stay low this time-fresher fishes with a bit more 'life'.
 Mid may well be in the picture though for a bit of a walk and some soltitude.

Did you bring a harpoon?

Just talking to a guy down at the marina that said he got two quick this morning 85ft down over 185fow but it got nasty and they had to get off. Man I want to fish, marina has not found my trailer yet cant get the boat out, getting frustrated!

The marina lost your trailer?......How does that happen?

While my crew are early risers , they are slow movers. Watching all the boats heading out wondering if we will ever fish today . Lol.

Can't hoot with owls at night and expect to soar with the eagles in the morning...lol

Just ribbin buddy

hot tuna

Nah they are early birds but slow movers.
Well trip is over. Today 1-5 .. 2 fish are heading up river soon with spin doctors attached.
Didn't set the world on fire but had a blast trying. Graveyard shift is going to suck tonight.
Ah well , be back soon when I can walk in the water instead of bob on top.
Hope to see you folks soon.

It'll be here before you know it Rich,it's going to be a good year as there should be water for them to swim in and get to us fresh and frisky.

This release was expected for the kayaks over Labor day,then they should be running 335 until?
Something we are missing....so far.....this year is the hurricane season.I wonder if Al canceled it?
