[cool]Went out after work to fish Boulder Harbor and Hemenway. Got in the tube and went down the bouy line to the right of the harbor. Caught a 2lb.11oz. at the shallow rock area on a rattletrap. Then nothing else til I got out to go to Henemway at 4pm. I was fishing just west of the fishing pier at Hemenway and caught a 5lber on a bomber long A. He tangled up my net,lure,line and pole. After finally getting him unhooked and put on the stringer, I dropped him in the water to handle the remaining mess. As I went back to the tangle,I realized that I FORGOT to attach the stringer to the tube! Gone was the fish and my stringer! Pissed off at myself and failing light I pack up my gear. I then decide to cast from the pier to try and redeem myself. Within 20 minutes I hook a 2lber which I got in the ice chest,a 5lber lost 10' from the pier and another 2lber also lost close to the pier.All caught on the bomber long A. Afraid of further embarrassment I call it a day/night and go. Sorry no pics.

That sucks! Now we've got a 5 lber swimming around with some hardcore jewelery!

Well, at least you caught some fish! Could have been worse...

Man tough start to the year for us. So far we are down one rod and one stringer, not to mention a few killer trips that were postponed. The fishing gods givith and the fishing gods taketh away... [laugh]
