No Break at Big Break

I met up with Hobie Dave at Big Break this morning after a quick stop for some Bullheads at a local bait shop.  Unfortunately the fishing was really slow.  I managed to score a shaker LMB on a rattle trap as we were heading out of the marina.  I don't think we were in the water 5 minutes when I caught it.  It seemed like it was gonna be a good day based on the early action but it wasn't to be.  I didn't get a single bite the rest of the day on the Bullheads or the rattle traps.  Dave got one Striper just before we left around 2:00.  Unfortunately, it was 1/2 inch short.  We left without a single fish but Dave's smoked Halibut and the brews were great as usual.  Still a great day on the water in the yaks!  We plan to fish MBK next Wednesday (Veteran's Day).  Company welcome.

thanks for the report. i was hoping you guys were going to talk about the 20 fish you caught so i would know where to go tomorrow

At least you caught a LMB & not a skunk!    Thanks for the report Martin.

Mike you shouldn't surmise that any spot isn't holding quality fish just because I don't produce. Had you been there, readers probably would be seeing fish pictures w/ a success story. My first screen name choice was to be "Hobie Skunk" NCKA Jed said it was too negative. Not wrong, just too negative. Still had a great day. My happiest moments are those OTW w/ NCKA friends

Sorry to hear that you didn't get into any Stripers Martin.  Maybe next time.  

That's fishin'... Good effort & thanks for the report. 

I miss your homemade brew Martin. BTW, Dave has been smoking quite a bit of fish lately and they have been so good. Even my little girls ask to come over to
Dave's house for some smoked fish. Anyhow, good luck on your next
outing. I have a strong feeling we will be seeing big fish being landed by you  guys
soon.
