Fishing report 10/24

[Jay Nannen]

Fished with Josh from 9-12 am. Between laughs and Tim Hortons sandwiches we each boated low 30s fish on black tubes and had 2 follows. Jumped on with JoJo and fished till 7. I think i gained 5 lbs from the awesome food onboard. Man does he know the east river! I got skunked but he landed a 35" trolling in un 6.

Jay, when it comes to the east River Jojo blows any Navionics or Hot Spot GPS chip out of the water.  Did he pull the middle-of-nowhere, "it will drop to X", or "we'll come up to Y now", while he can't see his fish finder?  Sadly, Jojo is one of the last true east River rats.  I fear we may never see another one like him.  Hunter S. should have written about Joe.  God's very own prototype.

You should have had some of the apple sauce raisin nut bread.  Like a pusher, he let me take it home.  I am ordering 10 of them for November long hauls.

Good luck out there.

And by the way, never use fluorocarbon leaders.

JoJo is amazing.  He knows every inch of that river and where fish have been caught/seen over the years.  Now I regret not trying the apple sauce raisin nut bread but not sure I could have jammed it into my stuffed gullet.  Thanks to both of you for all you have done for the NMA and our fabulous fishery over many years.  We are all lucky to have both of you.

Scott I never use fluoro leaders.  I use 195# stainless single strand with spro power swivels and stringease snaps.

"And by the way, never use fluorocarbon leaders", was not directed solely towards you Jay.  It's just general advice to every person that may view this Web site.  I figure if I say and write it enough, people may stop using plastic leaders.
