I took my Father in Law over to the St. Joe river yesterday for the first
time. The fishing was fantastic in between thunder storms in the morning.
One half hour stretch must have resulted in over 20 fish for us. The average
fish today was in the 13 inch range with a couple14-15's tossed in for extra
fun.
The afternoon was hot, sunny and nearly fishless. Not sure if the yo-yo
barometric pressure for the day was the cause or the direct sunlight, but the
fish were tough to bring up. We got a few and missed several more.
On the way home, I got a bit too involved in playing tour guide and forgot to
watch my speed. The Benewah County Sheriff helped to remind me of this
important detail with a $53 ticket. Oh well. It has been 6 years since my
last one so I was due I guess.
Hope everyone had a great weekend fishing.
Mike
