Thanks again everybody for the contributions. Summer gets tough between time and challenging fishing conditions but those fish are still there just got to give it a go. Top 5 Update tomorrow with our first July submission and I hope to get a fishing report out later this week with more details on the outing that produced the catch. Talk to you later. Troy
