So last weekend was the DU derby, and the weather on Saturday afternoon was well noticed by everyone, quite a few trying to hold up in the smaller bays to avoid the big swells. The story here is really more about Friday. As we went out Friday to search for the favorite hole, we caught a whopper...5.3 pounds and just over 23 inches. Go figure, a half day before the derby starts. During the derby we caught quite a few more nice fish between 3.25 and 4.0 pounds, but couldn't get enough to place. The derby winner was 4.27 I believe. The big pig we got took the Black Pearl spinner behind a Shatterred dodger, as did most of the weekend's fish. I actually ran two poles with that set-up. The Bread and Butter spinner behind a Silver Streak dodger was the next best hitting set-up, followed by KCT's little High Voltage Spoons behind Matrix dodgers. I hope to get the pictures figured out soon to share with you all, just not sure what the heck I'm doing from the camera to the PC. Sorry
 
very nice. i would imagine this is around the buckboard area? i am headed out again this saturday. the last two weekends we made it out our bigger fish came from that area. though we caught more fish by holmes crossing with far less boat traffic lol
 
Those are nice!

We were planning on coming up tomorrow but it looks like the verdict is still out on when our boat will be fixed. We were gonna launch tomorrow, stay on Saturday, and leave the boat in the slip until we got back up next Wednesday for the 4th weekend-We will have play it by ear now. It really sucks not having a 5th wheel up there so we're not at the mercy of the motels up there!

Edit: Just got the news-boat is fixed and we will be up tomorrow-cool! Still need that 5th wheel though....thumbsup
