[quote SportfishinSteve][#004080]Nice fish, but I don't agree that fishing was slow. I got there Friday afternoon and fished the opener from my boat trolling. I could not keep fish off and estimate that I caught 50 fish on Saturday and almost an equal amount on Sunday. [/#004080][/quote]
I was on shore so I guess I couldn't see you catching all of those big fish way out in the middle. Even at hundreds of feet away from you, from the sounds of all the big fish you caught, I'm suprised I couldn't see all of them![[Image: yell.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/yell.gif)
Sorry I missed that.
I did see lots of boats/tubers/tooners and shore fisherman in the area I fished for a couple of hours on Saturday and only saw two fish landed. I am sure that more were caught, but I didn't see any. So it was definitely slower than last year in the same area. I also didn't fish the dock area but did hear that some were doing better there. I also only saw a few fish caught on Monday and heard a number of people on boats or other craft mention they had one or none and it was slow. Guess they didn't see you catching any as well. Also looked like the vast majority of boaters picked up and left after Saturday which I am sure was the result of being tired from the hot fishing and not because it was slow for them.
I will say that the weather was great and the amount of people out there was fairly minimal compared to other years, so I didn't really care that the fishing was slower for me. But I spent 90% of the weekend in Yellowstone so maybe I just missed the hot fishing.
