How Early Is Early?

JU sneaked out early Wednesday 11/5 thinking that he would get the worm because "the early bird gets the worm!"  Unfortunately the time change messed things up.  The Ave Maria was in the water by 7 AM, but it was not early enough.  Drifting through the hole, JU passed three boats already in the water.  The one boat that JU inquired already had his limit of two salmon!  JU got to his spot around 7:20 AM.  Pulled wrapped sardine K-14 Kwikfish twice with no hits.  While he was pulling plugs, American Fishing River Guide, Mike Koe, came by (His website is here http://www.americanriverguide.com/).  Mike told JU he's got a 38 pounder in his boat and one other broke his line!  Since Mike was drifting beyond the point of no return and down to Watt Ave.  JU decided to go back to the first spot with the three boats.  By the the time JU got there, all the boats were gone.  JU pulled plugs once through the zone, but no hits.  Then, it was time to head back home to assume the role of JU, The Ultimate School Teacher :-)

Ad Astra per Aspera.

In the water by 7 AM; unfortunately, sunrise was at 6:30 AM.

Looking at the point of no return.

  1. Could JU and the Ave Maria handle a 38 pounder?
