Thursday, August 23, 2012 Our day started at 6:00 am with the perfect sunrise. With-in 45 minutes Werner had our first double header for the birthday girls. One for my son and one for my other son. My turn I'm up next, time to redeem myself Werner carefully piloted the boat and fish on! Wait somethings wrong the fish didn't pop the line off the rigger, Werner got it off handed the rod over and I reeled it in I'm sure the real fish let go because all I got in the boat was the smallest salmon just a little bit bigger than the lure. Having tiny fish syndrome I cowered back to the corner. Werner quickly made some alterations and bang on We all continued catching fish after fish with none stop action. We even had a triple header with the largest fish taking over 25 minutes to land a 32" rainbow. I broke two records my first salmon, and my largest rainbow. I was also redeemed as being the only one that caught a salmon. We went 16 for 16 Werner from Nautrek Sportfishing took five people out fishing that had no clue of what to expect, having never fished with downriggers, having never been on a charter and having never caught rainbows. Werner was unbelievable he spoke to each of us as if it was the first time, he took his time to explaining details, showing patience, and more importantly ensuring we all had a great day with great memories. Thank you to Werner for surpassing all fish catching expectations, creating memories and starting what surely will become an annual event.

That my friend was a PERFECT day on the lake except for one thing which I will get back to
What a great family you have and truly that was a pleasure to meet you all and spend 5 hours with you on the water.
everyone caught onto the way things work for big water trolling and you did very well with a full limit based on you licenses.
You are a lucky man to have such a lovely wife.........she had me going in stitches most of the day.....
Trips like that make my "job" so rewarding
To end, the one item I referred to was the enormous volumes of first class STREUDEL you left for me...... of which one complete unit was demolished the very first day. I told my wife......aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh well.there goes ye ole diet again

Hey MyDog
Well done! Has to beat fishing from a kayak.
How is your son making out with the banjo lessons?

Kayak fishing has it's advantages, but this trip was a blast. James has taken the summer off of lessons. Both my wife and I are self teaching ourselves. Hope you enjoy the photo priceless family.
