American River 5-31

Got on the river at little after 5:30 and stayed until dark. It was definitely a nice evening to be on the water. Caught a couple for the smoker and lost a couple .. 6lb wasn't cutting it tonight a few snapped off at the boat after the head shake and dive. I ended up switching to 8lb and was good after that. Here's some pic's.

Nice catch, WTG, cool pics

Nice job Abdiver!

Those shads are some fighters.  always fun to catch with lite-gear.

abdiver, what are you doing sat evening?

abdiver, what are you doing sat evening?

Saturday evening looks open so far. Do you have a drift anchor and are you comfortable with it? Where I end up going you have to anchor up.

not yet but i was planning to by this weekend.  it depends on if my wife will let me.

any riffles you're going over?  I was considering taking the hobie sport but wont do that if the water is too shallow for the drive.  i might still do it but take out the drive.

i do have an anchor trolley system that should work ok if the water is not moving too quick.
