Hit the water at 6:15 AM. Could still have gotten there earlier but that means getting up at 4:30. Ugh.
5 minutes into my paddle the bankies yell and point towards the south side of Crappie Cove. Big beautiful bust about a 10 minute paddle away. I just love chasing boils. It's a great workout with a lot of motivation. These fish stayed up the whole paddle there. It was obvious they were working the bait south along the bank, so I anticipated their route and got into them big time. I threw topwater first and as I worked the plug back towards me amongst the melee I see a fish jump out of water from left to right, landing face first into the plug. Fish on! So cool! As I fought this fish others were busting right next to me, so close that I pulled my second rod's hanging zoom completely out of the water fearing it would get noticed and get grabbed.
All these were nice fish.
A pb that was there 5 minutes before me hooked ZERO.
It was mostly over by 7 AM.
If I get to bed right after the Warriors win I should be able to get up for another shot tomorrow morning. You got to go when it's good!
Fish on!
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

After pulling the Mendo grand slam last Friday and hearing stories like this... I sooooooooo want to get back there. I'm feeling the mojo big time.

Good going Juan. Any size to the fish being caught?
