Indeed David .... the weather was great and the fishing was even greater!   I believe that is the most legals that I've ever landed in a single session.

Thanx for taking the time to respond to my post Sir,

Hi ya Enrique,

It was a great day weather wise and it was a PB day for me for the number of legals landed in one session.

I appreciate that you take the time to respond to my post Sir!

Hi ya MarkG,

I appreciate hearing from you that my reports are ok.
Are they too long?? Be honest please.

This was a PB day for me for the number of legals landed in one day ... an absolute blessing to say the least!

Thanx for your comments on my report!

Thanx Jerdon,
Sure, it breaks down to 2.833 fish per hour but in reality I actually went without a strike for 1.5 hrs before landing a fish and then another hour of no fish strikes before another fish got landed and then all of a sudden I land a mess of fish!
Go figure!

Your inputs are always appreciated,

SP Dan <“))><

Hey Bro,

Indeed ... it was an excellent day to be on the water!

I don't know if I am actually ever ready for a Tournament to begin, but at this point in life ... I guess I'm about as ready as I m ever going to be! lol


PS ... Please remind all of the younger Tournament contestants ... that I'm old and that they should try to take it easy on this here ol' feller!

Thanx Dude for chiming-in, I appreciate all of your support!

Great day on the water and great report.

Hi ya Bob,

Well, as you well know ... it's just time spent learning a fishery.

I still like to fish each fishery differently; each new session, through-out the year's changing conditions to really learn each harbor as well as I may.
Some times; like everyone else here at FTFF, I just get lucky.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post Sir,
