Del Valle Thursday 1/29

I hit the water at about 9 this morning.  The guy at the inspection station told me there was a plant this morning but he didn't know any details.  There were a few PBs around the dock area soaking powerbait.  I decided to troll a broken back Rapala around the usual "honey hole" but there was no action.  I trolled for a couple of hours and had just one hook-up.  It hit really hard but broke me off almost immediately.  I think my line must have been frayed near the knot.  Not only did I not get the fish, I lost a brand new Rapala fire tiger.  I only saw a couple of small fish caught so I packed it in and left around noon.  Not too good of a day of fishing but still nice day in the sunshine on the yak.

Those fire tigers must be the ticket there. I keep hearing people getting stuff on them. 

No fish success, but your day out there sure beat mine (schleping to work).  For some reason it seems like anything with a bit of orange does well at DV.

Bummer about the loss lure/fish. Will have to give DV another try soon. See you out there.
