COMMENT: What a perfect day. The seas were calm, the wind was down, and no rain or thunderstorms. Even the fish cooperated. The first trout caught was 14”. Everything after that was 17” up to 23”. We made the whole trip safe and sound. The reds we caught were so big I’m still having cramps in my arm and fingers. Ready to go back.
