we to Mantua this morning with my boy tagging along and tried to get him a few more species. Started out at mantua at 7:15 and fished for about 4 hours with marginal success. Caught some gills first off, and then Lil'Lunkerhunter hooked a rainbow that decided we were too ugly and spit the hook at us by the boat. He then caught a huge perch and a few more gills. Total tally was around 20 fish or so.
Left and headed to willard for another try and ran into Utahsteelheader and he did a full inspect of my boat. All was well but a torn life jacket and burned out nav. light. Thanks again Jeff.[

After an hour of stories and bs'ing, we finally launched at the north marina. Headed out of the bouies and the boat decided to make a full power run for about 1/4 mile and then back down to 7 mph.[mad]
We headed over to pelican beach and anchored in hopes of a cat or two. Nothing. Went back to the marina and tried for cats and smallies with no success other than a bite or two. A fun day none the less. Beautiful morning and temps. Pics to fallow.
