Planning on headding to the 49 bridge launch and trying for kokes, trout, maybe even some bass.  Will be on 69!

Knock 'em deal Al.  Look forward to the report.

Wish I could join you!

whats the water temp been down there?

Here is the water conditions from a few days ago on Gloryhole Sports website;

Water Conditions:  New Melones Lake is currently holding 1,573,753 acre-feet of water. The lake level dropped close to one foot this week, and is currently at 1010 ft. above sea level and 77 ft. from full.  Water temperature is warming daily with the average being 54-56 degrees and some parts of the lake 58-60 degrees in the afternoon. The lake is clear, to slightly stained with some debris floating on the surface.

Sounds fun!

Sounds fun!

At least it's not LDP! 

I was JUST sitting here contemplating a kayak trip to LDP since it has decimated every boat I have ever owned, rented, borrowed or otherwise.  Figured the kayak might break that evil $itch!

Water was 60-61 Saturday morn and 64 thurs afternoon. Bring your crappie gear in case the kokes don't wanna play there biting like mad. Gloryholesports just shared a 2.1lb slab.

Gotta find the gloryhole ...  pictures of that old, bearded guy on Gold Rush

Mike,
Were you talking about the Cove below the 49 lookout on the NE side of the bridge where the old roadbed is for the crappie?
