Mendo was windy, BUT, I have never fished that much before!!!

The wife did not get off until later on in the afternoon, so had decided to meet up with Allen (Otobepaligic) and his son Patrick (Holy Toledo) and do some pre-tournament fishing prior to the CSBA in May. My son and I got there and it was pretty good and far as the wind. Allen was already there so my son and him took off while I set up the trailer. Note to self: Next time leave with son. When I met up with them, well the first couple of pics, speak for themselves.
On Saturday, met up with Freddie and Mellissa. Already posted pics about them. It was great to her Mellissa when she caught her first striper. Does she yell like that on every fish,  Congrates!!!
Saturday in the afternoon was very windy. Like Freddie said, you could hardly make it forward. But still had an excellent time.
All in all, I caught many fish (Strippers, SMB, LMB) and was able to put some points on the board.
Also forgot to say, that most of the time we were on the water at 0630 and off at dark. WHAT A BLAST!!!!

Will try this again. Some how my computer gliched

Rory,
         Thanks for the update. Nice to see you moving up the AOTY list.

See you on the water,

S.

Nice fish guys!

     Rory, You and Kyle really had a great day on the water.........the pictures tell the story.

Great sunrise shot.  Thanks for the fine report.   

Rory-

We had a great time fishing with you yesterday. The fish were there and Melissa had a blast fighting them. Too bad about the wind... but, we still managed to have a good time. See you at the CSBA.

Freddie

Nice striper pics! From the photos it looks like the river mouth area was a good spot - if I recognize it right that is a fairly shallow flat wash area . . . is it typically that fishy there?

John

Looks like the lakes all filled up again. Great day in spite of the winds. You guys get em on minnows?

Don't know how I MISSED this post!  NICE Rory!  You're ALL OvEr ThE bOaRd!
Nothing like putting in RECORD TIME on the water!
Attribute that to the Madness my friend!
 Good to see you and son on the huntdowns and showin FISH!
thanks for the pics&port of the Mendo Maylay!

Fish more often, fish for longer times, fish more places, 
catch more fish, catch different fish, catch bigger fish,
meet more great people, 
cook better food, eat better food 

that is what causes the "NCKA MADNESS" to develop.
