They started their trip on Saturday morning and drove over 8 hours straight to get to York around 5pm. We met up and had dinner at Fiesta Mexico in York.
The food was really good and the Captain and Diet was cold and tall :)Sunday morning, we met at 9 am and were on the water by about 9:30 am. Mother Nature wasn't very kind to us today. The high was in the low to mid 50's, but we had had winds in the 15-25 mph range all day long. The wind chill was in the low to mid 40's. Pretty uncomfortable and definitely challenging from a casting and boat control point of view.
Enough of the whining...so how did we do? Pretty well, considering the weather and post-spawn conditions. We boated about 35 smallies today. Approx 6-8 of those fish were 18" or greater....not too terrible. Top 3 that we weighed were: 4-3, 4-1 and 3-15.
Here are a few pictures:
So...Debbi and I made a couple of new friends. We ate some good food and caught some nice fish. It doesn't get any better than that! Debbi and I are looking forward to fishing with Todd and Alicia on the New River in VA, sometime later this year.
Thanks!
Good report, Brett! We need to start thinking about hooking up for a trip soon.

Hey Brett,
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time meeting you and Debbi. Like you said, great food, new friends and good smallie fishing. It doesn't get any better. Thanks again for a great trip and we're looking forward to the New in the fall. This trip swap idea is very cool!
Hope you all have a great time in the Keys.
Take Care,
Todd
