The invasion was postponed until after lunch, I thought it would throw you off and catch the Armada with their guard down. Got to Bradfields around 1 pm, no minnows, off to North Erie marina. Man I have never seen more boats at any marina from Key West to Nanaimo than those 2 today. I though what a cluster jam this is going to be. Like clockwork, 1 in and 1 out in 5 minutes or less, smooth as silk. Both have great crews. Some of the marinas owners here should head down there and take some training, listening Mr. Hoover? More than 5 boats in quay here and a traffic jam and fist fight breaks out, no I was first, no way I was. Sometimes in 2 different languages, that's for another thread, probably not politically correct anyway.
On the water at 2, docked at 6, best day of the month for weather on the lake, 35 to 38 feet of water. The sun came out and glass flat just after my 1st mate fell off the butt seat and checked the water temperature, yes right in, splash. It's the first time I met the man, actually it was (not) funny. He says the seat post came out, maybe.
Kept 12 really respectable jumbos, threw everything back less than 8" that didn't have the bladders full or revived in the live well. Kept a dozen or more 8-10 inches.
If you bring a fish up slowly from deep water there sometimes is never a swim bladder problem, worked today.
The invasion doth a success and herby declared a victory for the Queen, she loveth the pearl of thine sea and bounty was a plenty.
The beasts from the east thank you.
