Mr. Noe, still pale from his last trip, and the capt. enjoy a double hook-up. Thanks to the good looking and lucking wives for booking the sunset charter.

The word was out from last week's flurry. Mr. Noe booked a gorgeous afternoon and landed a fine stripe after throwing at a big swirl. Apparently this striper had decided he too was fishing, but for captains. The fiesty captainerman embedded the barb of the capt. own treble hook securely in the index finger, sending a message that he'd been catching too many of its fellows. Unfortunately the capt. was too busy contimplating his fate with the pliers to take a photo for evidence.

Still excited from yesterday evenings charter, Todd booked another and sure enff same spot and better results. Fish seemed to be everywhere, we landed 3 stripers and 1 spot, I like these ratios better. Hope all of 2005 goes this way.

Well the New Year is upon us with 70 degrees of pleasure. The weather apparently triggered the bite, schools of bait all over the creek and Mr. Todd and I managed to nabb 4 spots and 1 stripe. Not a bad way to start off the year.
