WTG Hunter......

  Now....

  Go Freeze your butt off for a Dino and it's the the top 10   

Nice report Adam.  Glad to see you finally got your smallie.

(sorry Champ, you're down to#2 now)

I don't know, it sure looks to me like "Champ" is working on a #1 in this shot.

Dang,
You beat me to it Brian!!!! 

Nice smallie love Chuck.

I almost didn't recognise ChuckE without the grin...  love the pic with him watering the lake in the background.

Yup... It wasn't my usual pic, but after finally catching a decent smallie and relieving myself, it was permagrin all the way!

I don't know, it sure looks to me like "Champ" is working on a #1 in this shot.

good one Brian!    i knew he'd like that one posted, right next to the water too....bad boy!

Dang,
You beat me to it Brian!!!! 

Nice smallie love Chuck.

Stuart

now that's just plain mean.....giving "ShorelineSmallieLove" a whole new meaning

great pics / report!

I have yet to yak fish Berryessa

Hey ChuckE--most guys mark their spot with a GPS now-a-days...you seem to prefer the canine method though 

Way to go Adam!  I'm glad you got the Berryessa-smallmouth monkey of your back...that should move you up the AOTY board.

Nice report, pics, and laughs as always.

Right on, Adam!  I know you've been stalking the smallies for a minute now, so thats gotta bring some relief.

Good fishin', guys.

and then Lino(my new best buddy:smt008) peddaled up and got him some luvin too...on the FLY ROD!!! (sorry Champ, you're down to#2 now)

"My mission has been accomplished". I'm flattered being one of your new best buddy (sorry Mooch   
  ,my dear kabayan)

Though it was really slow, I had a great time with great company.

What's up Chuck? Can't seem to find it? You should have checked your line.

Lino "tailwalk" sure knows Berryessa.  He's been talking up the smallie action there, so Adam and I took him up on it.  We all knew the action would be slow this time of year, but it still produced.  I caught 2 smallies (13.5 and 14.5 inchers) and a small LMB.

Lino.... Thanks for introducing me to one of your favorite lakes!
Adam... Thanks as usual for the great pics.

Credit goes to my good-old-buddy DM who introduced me to this gorgeous lake. Though it was really slow you manage to land 3. WTG, Champ.

Awesome pics, Adam! I love the Bald Eagle Island (or "Chi-Chi-Chi-Chia" Island)... will make good calendar image. We'll hammer this lake/island next spring.

Chuck/Adam, please PM me other pics. Thanks, Bros.

Hey ChuckE--most guys mark their spot with a GPS now-a-days...you seem to prefer the canine method though 

Hey Blue, that's funny! 
Actually, I was making a beeline to shore to pee when I got hit by the smallie.   I'm glad it didn't take long to land it, take pics, and release it.  The thrill almost made pee in my pants.

Way to get this report off on a funny foot, Adam - I was grinning while reading it.     Congrats on your triumph, Bro!   

Great reporting all around.  That guy "Champ" ought to join the AOTY.     "Champ"!  Crackin' me up!     Nice work, ChuckE.   

Good job, Adam!  & good work, champE & good guide, Lino!    that is an awesome picture & moment!!!
I told you that can get them up north (even little slow, this time of year...)
and ChuckE that is a cool hat (I want one)!

Way to go Adam!
 Looks like you and the guys had a great time and the pictures were great.
I will put that smallie picture on my desk top as a benchmark smallie for this coming spring.
The snow is flying here in the wilderness and hibernation is at hand
Hope to see you soon

Awesome report FH. The color fading out of the pics when things weren't going good and then back to normal once you got the fish on. Getting all cinematic on us huh? And the FH pose seals the deal! Sawheet!
