SBD:
Joel, John and Lee came up early this morning to join me on Mendo. It was a bit chilly first thing, but we baited up and hit the water. I took us toward a spot that has been holding a school for a while. After about ten minutes on the water Lee is bent...
About a minute later Johns rod goes off and we have a double going. Off to a good start, and both guys land there fish. Johns is a fat 10 pounder, Lee's is also nice at about 8 pounds. We fish a a bit longer and John hooks up again. Another nice fish, and John has a fat limit by 9:00.
Joels rod goes off next and he nets a fat little 6 pounder. I am still scoreless and starting to blame Joel since he hit me with a banana AND he had me drinking Fosters by 8:00 am. :party
Lee gets slammed next and he is off on a sleigh ride. After an unbelievable 15 minute battle it pops off at the boat. :smt010 . Lee comes over sad and needing more bait so we pass him a minnow and he has it hanging over the side of his boat and a fish comes up and snags it a few feet away from the yak! Lee was on fire. Lee land a nice 8 pounder again and he is limited by 9:30-10:00.
We head off for the campground and I get hit on the trip over. MY boat now has a striper on board and an empty can of Fosters on the deck...a good morning by any standard.
We got some nice campers to take a group shot...
Nothing huge today, but all nice fat fish. As always great times and great company. OH yeah, we came up with a new slogan after catching nothing but solid fish all day..."the forebay is gay" :smt003

Mendo produces quality AGAIN.... dammit.... why can't we consistently find fish like that around here :smt013
Seriously... congrats to everybody :smt023 .... I'm especially glad the drive was well worth it for Joel and JD
Here's another new slogan of your same theme.... "Get Bendo at Mendo" :redmoon
Bill:
Damn guys that rocks! If Salmon are not close yet (doesn't look like it based on reports) I will head up there next weekend.
Tomorrow I will go be gay on the forebay though :smt016
