Some of you know, I’ve struggled to learn how to fish here. Bill Duane’s been teaching me, and the proof is in the pudding. First pic is from a trip over the holidays. These were keepers for Bill, my son, and me. Second is today. 2 of 3 were in the boat by 0730. Thanks Bill!

Oops - here’s the second pic of today’s catch - and a better one

Nicely done!

Bill Duane

I had a great time with you today.
Makes me feel good that I had a small part in you bringing some fish home.
Oh, and I don't work hard enough to be called captain.
But thank you.

@fsu11 true dat. Also, he’s a great teacher. He’s been teaching me bait selection, retrieve techniques and a lot of other things I never knew I didn’t know.

Nice job!  Always great to see fisherman helping each other out!

It took me forever to figure it out in shore here. Then one day it all kinda came together. Every time out was a two man limit of red in the first few hours and I always was able to load up on yellow mouth and trout. And then one day I got bored with it and went out and bought an off shore boat. Now I got the rest of my life to figure that out.
