Title: FIRST SPRINGER OF THE YEAR!!!
Post by: LittleJohn on February 23, 2010, 06:56:00 PM: My wife and i got a stealie yesterday. So me and my dad decided to try it again this evening. Had 4 fish on and landed 2 of them. To our surprise the one was a chrome 15# springer. I have never caught one this early before. Hope it is a sign of a strong run this year.
Sorry I can't say were we were. I was the only boat at the launch the last 2 days and really want to keep it that way. I hope i am not an A-Hole for not saying.

It sounds like the run is picking up. He said shortly after they landed the springer the sea lion decided to hang behind the boat waiting for an easy meal.

Nice fish. I was just poking fun because a lot of people don't realize it is a two fish limit right now.
