Lake Del Valle 5-16

I decided to break in my new ride today at lake Del Valle also testing out some equipment I have been installing on it, Depth finder, downrigger anchor system for the back and so on. Sorry back to the fishing report, my nephew, first time in a kayak managed to hook up two stripers ( I think he’s hooked, another to this madness ) my score was 3 stripers two trout and lost 2 others we where trolling jumbo minnow on one side and I was trolling a Seps sidekick dodger in watermelon and a brown grub on the other. I did talk with some other boaters, they did pretty good on trout using a red rooster tails and a small rapala brown trout. Not to many boaters on the water today witch made it nice, water was high and clear a great day.     Ho ya all fish where real least un harmed

NICE Job! I like your style, fishing for different species at the same time    I'm booked for memorial day weekend for some camping. Gonna be there next Friday - Monday fishing morning and night!  Hope I do as well as you did, testing! 

Nice multi-species report.   

congrats on the great day on the water.  lookes like little bill is having the time of his life,  well good job and was wondering how did the rig hold up all the new additives work ok ????

Nice work Pat - even a better job at infecting the NCKA madness to the younger generation

By the looks of the pics, I say you were at "Valentines Cove" 

We did hit Valentines Cove with no love the stripers where hear and there you could see them on the ff so I would slow down to a drifted and wammo fish on .

I do my best on infecting the madness, sold my old kayak to my brother and he’s already to go .

Joel would like to thank you and all others that I bugged trying to figure out the right yak for me thanks again to all.

I ending up with the Tarpon 160i and love it

Matthew all worked out fine even the rear anchor will post pics soon .
