Mike the teacher

Mike and I were fishing one of our favorite striper locations and having a great day catching and releasing 18" to 25" striped bass on almost every cast.  Suddenly we noticed the Fish and Game Police boat approaching.  We thought it was odd because we maintained a good relationship with them and they had conducted a safety check of our boat two weeks earlier and because our boat is unique (a 22' Catamaran with twin Yamaha motors) we were sure that they knew who we were.  They approached our boat with a friendly greeting and Mike asked what they needed from us.  One of the officers commented, "we have been watching you catch and release stripers for 30 minutes and I need to ask a favor.  I have two nephews visiting next week and they want to catch stripers so I thought I would ask your advice on the best way I can put them on fish.  You catch more fish than anyone on this river and I need your advice."  Mike spent the next 20 minutes telling him where to fish for for stripers and for specs, what tide produced the best results and what lures to use and what colors worked best for each species.  He then casted a lure out and showed both officers how to fish the lure.  His last gesture was to reach into a tackle box and dig out packages of the lure he recommended in the colors he recommended.  Two weeks later the same boat stopped us to say thanks and tell us both boys caught and released many stripers and specs.  That was typical Mike.  By the way, both packages of the lures he gave away came from my tackle box.  That was also Mike.
