silver one Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 :)Decided to avoid the boat barage in St.joe and went to southaven. Trolled south to the power plant piced of 3 lakers. ended up 3 for 5. all three lakers came on thin fins red tiger and orange and gold and red and gold. All on surface lines on the board 100' and 100' out. all were released. Last fish was able to shake off without netting. The Day was picture perfect. got a couple of nice pic before the camera died. On the way back got a coastguard inspection infront of the pier heads about 12.30 pm. Boat inspection was perfect and we were greatfull for the coasties and let them know that we were. Boat stalled while we were tied up and could not get it started again as it was bobbing like a cork inthe water for 20 min. (Flooded.) Coasties were pulling away and I said hold on. The gave us a tow into the Harbor where we were finally able to get her running again. I told them I would trade there radar for Mine. They let us go on there boat and check it out. wow. What a set of electronics. Thanks to J1musser for help at the boat launch. those waders come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 GJ Joe. Those are dark greenish healthy looking LT. I volunteered for a C.G.A. inspection in the AuGres parking lot last year. I didn't have any issues, but they recommended I get a back up fire extinguisher. Hats off to those brave men and women. They risk their lives for us.
