GTRIEM Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I know this post is late, but i have pics. It was my Pop,Bro,Friend and his Son. We skipped out of work early on Friday and went to St Joe. Put in around 4pm fished till sun-down. We did'nt have the HOT action we had hoped for...but hey it was the first outing this year and it sure beat work! We trolled toward nuke plant and fished around challets. Picked up a real nice fish-I thought the kid might get pulled over the side He listened and didn't horse it and we landed it no prob...kid said his legs were shaking.hahaha. We did not get any more,so heres the days catch... Can't wait till the next time:) GTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRIEM Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yeh,that boat is my Pops. My brother and I get the privlege of using it and taking our Dad fishing. Thats Dad at the wheel. Even as adults we are lucky kids:D The boat is named "I SAID NO" Thats what Mom said when Dad was bidding on it at an auction. :eek:He bought it anyway. We needed a big lk boat as the 18ft Starcraft took hard wave about 12mi out on lk erie and put a 6ft split in the side.That was the last big water for that boat.(that was several years back)But you don't forget that much water on the inside of a boat! Hope to see if i can recognize some of you out on the water. GTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
