Went out again this morning. 

Hit it early and trolled near the dam (Heron Bay).

Ended up with 6 and let one go.

All caught in 30 - 90 feet of water on dodgers with a nightcrawlers.

Caught #5 at 0900 and #6 at 1030.

I saw a lot of Kayakers, it looked like an over-nighter or something.

DanMan-

You should've checked out the Hookup Forum. There's a big fish n chill camping thing out there. Glad you got into them.

How ironic - hanging out near the Chillers and not even knowing it!  Nice limit.   :smt001

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

Danman-How do you control the depth?  I am a rook when it comes to trolling Del Valle-I usually stick with Rapalas.  Any advice would be appreciated as to how/what you rig up with and how fast you paddle.  Thanks.

We saw you pass by and were wondering if the yak was marked "Lurker" on the bow or what...?

Shoulda stopped by to give us lessons...

I'm surprized you didn't see one NCKA sticker on any of the 38 kayaks parked on the beach.  Most of us did see you pass by a few times, you had your wheels in the back, I think a yellow yak? You were sleeveless!

That wasn't Danman- that was me  later in the afternoon on Saturday.  I was a little hung over :smt044 and just wanted to catch a fish or two.  Danman did better than me-I only ended up with one :smt009

IS there a hint of sarcasm in there?  I know fishing wasn't great last weekend, but it will pick up.
