Met my Friend Steve in Riverdale at 4:15 am.
1st stop B & B in Stanhope for Herring.
Arrived at Merrill Creek Launch ramp at 5:50 am.
We were the 1st Boat that Launched
Steve set us up on the 1st drift & I missed 5 Bites in a row
The 6th Bite I landed a 24" Laker
Went back on the same drift and missed a few others.
Next drift Steve hooked up with a 16" Brown
The 4th drift the bite died so we made a move & anchored up.
A few stockies were boated & it started getting hot.
Saw Fishon1982 (aka Robbie) trolling around.
At 12 noon we called it a Day.
Not a bad way to Spend a Monday morning !!
Good times always on the 16 Ft Monark
