Saturday “ Nelle”

[2knots]

Meet up with Eylayo at 5am near Hill AFB and headed up to Jordenelle to meet Ru2u and see if we could find the elusive kokes. On the way up Obi called and said he had changed plans as was on his way also. The 3 of us in my boat launched and started setting gear just outside the buoys at about 6:20 and headed north, 2 small bows came to the boat pretty quick and then did a lot of searching, wasn’t until 9:30ish when we got the next nontarget volunteer. Bows and 1 brown was all we we got with 10-15th on the wire being the best but did pick up a bow at 45’ on an apex when we decided to chase some marks. The planner boards produced most of the fish using clip on 1oz weights set back 40’ from the boards. Pink mini hoochies with small 00 blades seemed to be the best. Weather was dead calm until around 10 when a breeze started and by noon the forecasted gusts had arrived but they would kick up for a bit and then drop so we were able to fish until 1:30/2 o’clock. Shawn and Richard were great to fish with and did a lot of chatting during the slow times, looking forward to trips with both again, thanks for a great day
Final count 7 bows (double at the end)
Water temp was 41.7




 and 1 brown
