Fishing with Sam, Tyler, and Tim 3/28/17

[Capt Juls]

Met my crew, and Capt Kevin's crew, at Big Bopper's for breakfast at 7am this morning.

Yesterday, I had Gary, Lane, and Greg....and, Kevin had Sam, Tyler, and Tim. Today we flip flopped our crews...so, today I had Sam, Tyler, and Tim with me, and Kevin took the other three with him.

After breakfast, we headed over to Mazurik's to launch at 8am. We headed back to the area north of Kelly's, because we didn't hear of any better water clarity than what we had there.

The skies were gray, the winds were out of the north, and the waves were 1-3 feet all day. The fishing was tough again for us, but we managed to put 4 in the box, throw one back that was too small, and lost a bigger fish behind the boat. (Kevin's crew had it even tougher, when they only managed one in the box today).

I had a very small spot out in the middle of no where....giving it no rhyme or reason why that one very small area was producing bites for us. Any time we crossed that spot, we would pick up a fish. The last time we passed over it, we had a double go off, but one of those fish is the one we lost behind the boat.

Bandits were the ticket again, and 90 and 100 were the magic numbers. Purple Hot Tiger, Black Gold, and Crown Juls were the three colors that caught fish for us. Speed, was slower today.....08-1.1

It was a fun day getting to know the other 1/2 of the South Dakota crew, and I enjoyed their company very much. They are very good fishermen, and a pleasure to fish with.

Tomorrow, we will be heading back up there again, because the guys we know that were headed to the west side of the islands, to check out the water clarity said it still stinks over there. Too much mud still.

So, until tomorrow....Stay tuned....
