Lucky Strikes!

Went salmon fishing this morning and took the usual route.  Passed by the old oak tree and saw Lucky's truck.  Proceeded to the dock.  That was a mistake.  I arrived at 6:45 AM and there were a bunch of fishermen there already.  Don't these guys sleep :-)  Anyway, fished there for half an hour with 11 other fishermen.  It was all the combat fishing I could take for the day.

I left the dock and went back to the old oak tree.  By the time I settled, it was 7:30 AM.  Went to say hello to Lucky and as we greeted, he struck!  BAM!  Fish on!  Just like that.  I got to return the favor and netted his first salmon for the season, a nice, wild, 15-pound hen!  God is good!

Winning Lure: Pink body, gold blade Flying C.

15-pound, wild hen.

I asked Lucky to text Roger, who was fishing at the dock.  Then we were joined by Roger.  Three of us fished on until around 9:00 AM.  Then I felt a slight bump :-)  BAM!  Fish on!!!  Landed my first fish on my new homemade lure that I named One-Eye TOAD.

One-Eye TOAD S.I.R.E.N.

 You have to see the video to appreciate the first catch from One-Eye!!!

Lucky and I left at 9:30 AM.  Roger got the whole place to himself.

I prayed that Lucky would catch a fish and he did.  I also prayed that I would catch a fish and I did :-)

God is good!
