Double Hookup:

This fish got both my lures and somehow we managed to get him into the boat without losing any tackle.

This was our second trip to the Gorge. Went in 2010 and stayed at Buckboard. This year we stayed at Lucerne.
Thanks again to Vacaville Bob & Mickey T who helped convince me to go this year & not wait 'til next year. This was another amazing experience that will stay with me forever! Thanks to Ken for floating that spinner & dodger combo that worked so well and for the Sherbet set ups too!! Thanks Ben for the "shuttle" to the slips at 5:00am. Thanks Connie & Kathie cuz all 3 of us ladies helped to make it a comfy trip for all.
