Playing Hooky

Any of you who know my Grandpa Lloyd are well aware of his infamous fishing reports. Well, I will let his most recent report tell the story of this entry.





Family & Friends : My S-I-L, Tom B. and I took Parker Jeffs, out of school, and out to DV this morning. Parker is Vicki & Tom's oldest Grandson. He is also Karen & my First GREAT- GRANDSON. He is all of 8 years old. Kelli and Justin are his parents.
His Grandpa Tom threatened him all day long that we would take him back so he could confess to missing school, and take any tests he was missing. He also threatened to send an email to his teacher, with pics and time slots indicated.




It was a great day, and the fishing was OK. It wasn't as good as last Wed. We had a large school of striped bass boil about 50 yards south and East of us and I think they spooked the trout. We had had a lot of fish jumping, until the boil.
We were anchored and fishing by 6:25 am. I had a run about 7:10 a. m., which Parker managed to subdue.





But the fishing was pretty slow.By 11:15 a. m.Parker had his 5 fish. He had three salmon and two trout. Tom had reeled in one fish. I didn't fillet it , so I wasn't sure whether it was a salmon or trout. I had three fish , two of which were 17 inch salmon. These were the largest fish we bagged today. One salmon was about 2 1/2 #. We refer to a fish like that as a "Chunky Bugger."




There was only a couple of Quail calls early and a blank on wild turkeys and deer.
Ron, Bob, Marvin and Larry were all out today. They had a total of about13 fish in three boats.
Yes, it is true that we were out last Wed. with early limits. I guess that is the price of being old and mostly retired.
C U next time..........
