Hi Guys
Ben and Cowboy helped me drop the boat in Converse for it's first day of serious fishing. We started out on the west shore and fished from Cannon north to the green camp north of the Bouquet. After a couple of small lakers and some Ciscos we decided to make a move to Whalens. We set up again and fished a few more hours and finished up in front on garden island. A few small Salmon on black and purple mp6s and crazy Ivans about 40 to 50. It was a great day to tweak and play with the new boat. We dialed in a plan for the cleaning station. The Berts tracks give you the ability to really tweak the spread and change things up. I will share more details as we I get it finished up. It was great to talk to Surprise on the Radio today.
Super Cab saved the day. The girls wanted some fresh fish for dinner. Needless to say we did not provide today. But Supercab was hot on the perch bite. He set me up with a big ag of 8 in plus Yellow Bellies. Poor mans shrimp for dinner.
Thanks a million Jud.
Hopefully I will be back out this weekend.
Good luck
Thorny

Great boat! If you want to leave it at the store so the guys and I can keep an eye on it it's no problem
Thanks for the class on Scotty riggers, I have sold a few but never really used one. Scotty makes a great rigger!
Great day on the water.
We didn't catch any salmon untill the peanut butter cracker came out.
Thanks Rob and Cowboy!

I heard it was a fun day! Glad you all had an enjoyable time.
