Lake Sonoma 4/26

Hit the lake after work. With rain coming tmw and leftover minnows from the weekend I was OAM, on a mission, for a smb. Launched at 5pm and the wind was blowing pretty good. Tried fishing the bottom but kept getting snagged so reeled up a little and just let the wind blow me using the rudder to steer along the shore. Then bam! Those smb's sure hit hard! Fish was jumping and tailwalking like crazy. Got lucky and didn't lose em but that was it for the evening and headed back in at 7:30pm. Water was pretty clear by the dam so hopefuly we don't get too much rain tmw so it will stay that way.....for the next session!  

Way to get after it Jim.  Congrats on the SMB!

Jim must have a good butt pad. That's some serious
fishing bro. Three days in a row. You must also have tons of wife points.
