Jason
and his customers came from all parts of Texas, Grapevine, Dallas, San Antonio,
Austin and Houston. We left port on the Chairman II Thursday morning. Breakfast
was served under way and our mooring location was Hitchcock Bay East.
Jason
had set up a fishing contest for the trip. Every walleye over 15” was measured
and recorded for each guest. The first morning 3” of rain fell by 12:30 PM then
the shies cleared. Fishing was wild in the downpour. It was tough to record in
the rain but the boys got it done. Obviously pictures were hard to take too.
Day
two brought high winds pushing the low-pressure system out. Day two was tough
fishing as many of the locations we were fishing had way too much wind and waves.
We did catch plenty to put on a nice shore lunch for Jason, Steve, Jerry, Mike
and Mike, Jerry, and Scott.
Day
three started out with beautiful weather and more incredible walleye fishing.
Slip sinkers and 48” snells tipped with leeches or slip bobbers tipped with a
leech was killer!
At
the end of the trip there was 3300” of walleyes caught. Unreal considering day
two was limited. Chef Jim laid it on wonderful, he is not bashful. He served
our Texas guest’s ribs and chicken on
the first night. They were delighted!
I
wish we had shot more pictures but 35mm cameras don’t’ like rain.
A
big thank you to Jason, Steve, Brian, Jerry, Mike and Mike, and Scott. We can’t
do it without guests like you!
