[cool][font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1][#0000ff]The serious fishermen launched early. Utwalleye, Flycasting and yours truly left the ramp by 7:30. Air temp a balmy 40 something and the water up to 45.8. Started powering thorugh the channel for the open lake when I noticed a ranger truck swing through the parking lot and remembered that I forgot to put my pass in the window. (Grits teeth). I kicked in to shore and walked all the way back to my vehicle to put the sticker in. Met up with the ranger later and he said that I didn't need to do that since he recognized my truck. Thanks a lot.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]After my late start, Utwalleye and Flycasting were already well offshore. But, a radio check with FC indicated that there had been no action yet. Good enough. I got it started with a couple of quick kitties by about 9. Then the sun came over the top of the mountain and warmed things up as the cool north breeze laid down.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Still no other tubers or tooners. Wimps.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]FC cruised over into the general area in which I was getting bites. He put a couple in his basket as I added a couple more to mine. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Majja and Wasatch801 Launched sometime before 10, but stayed in shallower water for a lnng time. They finally came out to the 10-11 foot water and started getting bit about 10:30. That was also about the time Lunkerhunter2 and djremo came out in the SS LH2. They caught a couple and FC was getting bit before everything shut down about noon and we went in. I think I finished with about 7.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hookjaw Brimhall showed up for the vittles and went out fishign afterward with FC. They will have to post how the afternoon bite went.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]All in all, we had 17 fish for 7 diners. Oh yeah, we also fed Ranger Jeff some kitty krispies as a token of appreciation for all the fine work he does for us...both on and off the board. thanks to those who brought salsa, chips, salads and cookies. It all went together well, even though it took a while to cook the fish with my wimpy campstove.[/#0000ff]

That looks like it was an eventful day. I hope everyone got something to eat. I can't wait to get out there and join the posse with you guys.[cool]

That would be great TubeN2. I would have to get out of my death bed for a chance to fish with you and your Daddy[]

[tubeN2]

I have a way to get you out of your death bed!!! My new tube has a rack so that I can mount a power winch on it.![shocked]

I would be honored to chuck some lint with you and your hubby too. I might even find a way to swap tubes with you. You won't even notice that big banana colored tube instead of the beautiful red one that you have.[cool]
