Me and Dad Lake Robin 10/2

[southern151]

Decided that me and Dad were gonna make the run this morning. Got in a little late this morning but went straight to me and Eman's lucky spot from yesterday.

Dad's never fished saltwater before so, I got him rigged up with some Gulp and told him to give it hell! I'm riggin up and two seconds later, something was giving him hell! First cast, first Spec!!! Netted for him and told him to go for cast two! Two seconds later, more hell!...I haven't even got a jig threaded yet! Got the net and up comes a beautiful red!<----That's him and you'll see it in the pics! Keep in mind, this fight took about 3-4 minutes and involved some serious spooling! He was LOVIN IT!!

Well, I got in finally and put a spec on board and a flounder. Fell slack after that. Moved to another location and I managed to put two more on board, both solid trout! I hooked into a HUGE drum that ran me like crazy for a few minutes and came off at the edge of the boat. Dad was disappointed but, I wouldn't have kept it anyway. The bite DIED after that. The wind was howling and the SS Backbreaker was living up to it's name so, we decided to call it.

I wish we could have caught a few more, for my dad's sake but, he was tickled to say the least. This is handsdown one of the funnest (non-alcohol) days that Dad and I have had in a long time! A special thanks to my paudna Eman for making today's trip a success by showing me around yesterday!!!
