2/20 eagle rock to big M

[m&m]

We put in around 11 at eagle rock. WT was 49-50.2. About 4 foot visibility. First time being in that area so we rode around and looked at a lot of water. Stopped to talk to Quillback for a few minutes. Then left and went to rock creek. We fished about an hour and the rest of the time checked out the boat, live wells, electronics. Took out at 1:15. Caught my first a-rig fish.  It really slammed into the lure.

I took Bill Babler's advice and gave Ulrich Marine a laundry list of little things to fix on my boat and motor. I have to say that they did a fantastic job. Full motor tune up, identified the problem I was having was due to a voltage regulator, they fixed my live wells and some other small items. I was very satisfied.

Here is the picture of the keeper. All in all it was a great day.

[Quillback]

Nice one! 

Good to meet you, wish I could say the fishing improved after we talked, but we caught one little dink after talking to you and were out of there at 2:30.

We ended the day with 7 total, 2 decent keepers LM's.  Got most of out bites in the first couple of hours, then it got really tough.  Most of the fish came on a shaky head.

Quillback, good to meet you also. When we left you and entered Rock creek there was another silver and black Phoenix with a merc sitting at the mouth. Sounds like you had a pretty good early bite.  Good color in that area. We will try to hit it again next weekend.
