Getting Better

smalljaw 07/04/2009 - 06:51 Trip Reports Potomac Got out onto the UP yesterday and had a pretty decent day. Quantity was real good quality was acceptable. Fish were hungry and taking just about anything that we threw.

Highlights:
Hat Trick: Smallies, Walleye, Cat
Unusual: One smallie had a broken off tube down its throat
Damage: Lost the back bolt on the jet grill
Conditions: Low clear water, skies were perfect
Encounters: Muskalungee and TheDuder
Tip: If you don't have a first aid kit then get one today

Update: Grill bolts are fixed now. Turns out both were broken. 3' of 1/4 20 SS all thread, some misc hardware and about an hour and she's good as new now.

July 3

DanMarino 07/06/2009 - 07:00 That's great to hear that the river is fishing better guys!

I was out on July 3 on the lower UP and I was surprised how dirty the water was down there. Very dark green/brown stain with basically 1 foot of visibility. Only managed two dinks on crayfish colored crank baits.

ogbudha 07/04/2009 - 10:39 Just bring Reb9 along and youll be ok...theres no finer field medic out there.

Big river has been fishing better. Got 2 C classes the over 100 fish.

Muska has a pic of the one.

Congrats on the boat carnage!!

First aid??

REB9 07/04/2009 - 08:17 Did you get cut or jabbed lipping the walleye?

See you on the water...

Hey, on your damage. Post a picture.... I'm sure we can point you in the right direction. If you have another side bolt, you can try to take it off, then go to Lowes or HD and get another.... Get stainless.
