Cap'n Ron,

The trip was excellent. The amount of fish varied, obviously, per boat. Our boat did the best. Our two day total was around two dozen bass, a couple of gar and one mudfish. The other boats did pretty good, but overall it was somewhat slow. That was probably more to do with the water temperature and the fact that we opted to use artificial lures in most of the boats. The size of fish, though, was better than below average days around here. We all know about Danny's 8.5 lb'er, but he also caught a 5 lb'er that morning. Being from north of the Mason-Dixon line you should know that a 5 is a real big fish for us. Jason, who was with me, also caught his biggest fish--a 5 lb'er--albeit on a shiner (we all told him it doesn't count). I caught a 4.5 lb bass as well. The other fish caught were upwards of 2.5-3.5 lbs.

Hope to see you again next year.

Andrew Grimes
