Beautiful evening on the waterways yesterday! Once I got my boat into position to start to fish, the Coast Guard pulls up and does a full safety inspection of our vessel. This takes about 35 min. of our limited fishing time. Had a chance to talk to the patrolmen about fast, and gave out a FAST card to one of them. God is always putting men in our paths, you never know, that guy could be in need of a group like ours to help get himself on a walk with Christ. Well, I had a chance to have Jim Hartwick and a new member Brad Nicoll on my boat with me last night. They both caught fish. Brad caught his first ever walleye. So I have posted a photo of him and his fish.
So, now to the numbers!:
3 boats, 8 anglers.
11 target fish, (walleye)
30-40 non-target fish (silver bass/white perch, sheep head)
Prizes
Longest target fish.....D.J. Vogan......17.5 in. Walleye, $40
Longest non-target ...D.J. Vogan......28 in (est.) sheep head, $40
Most fish in the boat team.
Mike Demanski Jr. and D.J. Vogan ....7
Each receive a Binocular harness
First to limit out on target fish;
Mike Demanski Jr. 5 fish before 8:30 pm.
3 week carry over of prizes won by Mike.
1) spinning rod
2) spinning reel
3) $20 BassPro Shop gift card.
Nice job Mike!
Thanks again to all the participants, and especially to all those that didn't get a chance to fish this week because there was not enough seats in boats. I have spoke to those guys and given them a number in the front of the line for next weeks event #4. So register early.
Next week we are in Lake St. Clair for perch! We will be launching out of the DNR ramp on Jefferson south of Crocker. This is right next store to John Bacarella's Sportsmen's Direct Store. (He offers FAST members discounts.) I will post the event on Monday, be sure to RSVP as soon as you can, it is first come first seats. Alright now!
Jimma'!
