North Island Lodge Report: June 29, 2009

New Leader!!! The Spring Salmon Challenge is heating up. Our latest entry will have everyone chasing.  

Date: June 28^th, 2009

Lodge: Clubhouse

Location: Andrews Point

Angler: Michael Peck

Measurements: 46 Length 29.75 Girth

Calculated Weight: 50.9 lbs

Guide: Bud Stafford

The story i've been told is this fish hit the last rod in the water as they were looking to leave and take a break from the 35knt winds. From a former guide that has worked alongside Bud, I’m sure this fish had something to do with the way he was maneuvering his 27 ft of Boston Whaler Offshore Predator in that stiff wind…Nobody better at the helm of than him, or it could be his lucky yellow shirt.

Well done Michael! With one week left to go in the Challenge you have certainly set the stage.
