Trip #22 (7-day) Sep 23-30, sponsored by Seeker Rods

September 23rd, 2018|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers,
We departed today on a 7-ay trip with Fred Brandt, pro-staffer from Seeker Rods and headed for The Ridge. Today anglers relaxed and got re-acquainted with old friends from the Searcher family. We all watched some football and golf too.
We have a beautiful load of bait that has been curing at the recievers for a week! I’m pretty pleased with the quality. Tomorrow will have a seminar and do lots of rigging everyone. We plan to start fishing Tuesday.

Fred from Seeker is checking on line on one of his reels and the trip has only just begun!

Marinade (makes 12 servings):

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tbsp diced onion

2 tbsp diced garlic

1 tsp ground mustard

2 tbsp Italian herbs
