Well????? Where's the Report? How'd the maiden voyage go?

You do realize you scheduled your Maiden voyage on the Same day the Titanic sank

Forget the sweetwater get over to Dux Bay. Wish I had a yak yesterday afternoon as they were just out of hook up range on every cast. I still got some but it was a little more work. You would have had a bonanza out there on your yaks this weekend.

The new yak was like night and day compared to the other...the new steering makes a HUGE difference! It performed better than I could have hoped and the bonus was I took 1 nice largemouth on it to christen the new yak! 2.5 to 3 pounds!! I will have to hit Dux maybe this week......there is word of a possible WEE WEE trip this coming weekend!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

They are around and it's a good time for you yak guys seeing no other boats are in yet to speak of. Last night at sunset was a blitz that was just out of my reach in waders but I still managed to hook up here and there. I'll be out there again tonight.
