Merrill Creek July 4th report !
« on: July 08, 2008, 08:50:18 AM »
Met my friend Steve at 4 am on Fri.

After making 1 stop for Live Herring.

We arrived at Merrill Creek at 5:45 am.

It was raining and the there was some fog.

Perfect conditions for the early part of July !

Steve launched his Monark & off we went.

We drifted live Herring for the 1st 3 hrs.

A few hits by Stockies & that was it.

We were both puzzled   ???

Only 1 thing to do when the fish are not hitting on the drift & we ended up anchoring up.

We anchored up in 90 ft of water & started chumming.Within 10 minutes the Brownie's were all around the boat.1st Brownie went 2.5 lbs.And the next 3 hrs we bailed them.There were times when all 6 rods were going at 1 time.Can you say Chinese Fire Drill  ;D A majority of the Browns were stockies.At 1:45 pm we called it a day.

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.
