Anderson 2/13

It was the big A on Friday and I had some technical difficulties trying to shield the kayak from the rain. I thought I had it figured out, but as soon as I hit the freeway the cover blew open.  Good thing that by that time the rain had stopped and allowed me to get to the lake before it started again. Met with GotJig at the inspection station. Good to see you again GotJig!

So I launched at about 9:30 AM and Yellowboat joins me an hour later. So this time we had set our minds to find some new holes and out we went. Stopped at Ken's middle of nowhere spot to rest up a bit and nail the skunk buster. A healthy 13"er. We took advantage of the flat and anchored up for lunch.

GotJig was way out there and was heading back. Must have been a good kick.

So after getting some much needed calories in the tummy we headed to new waters, hitting rock piles here and there and getting a few bites. We finally found a couple of good spots. The first one was within range of the float tube   and the second one was a bit too much but it was the best spot.

Most of the bites came in between 10' to 15'. A few were right up against the bank. The action was fair and I boated 8 cookie cutters. Lost just as many that did not commit to take it all in.

Took the camera with me only to find out the battery was dead.   

We paddled about 5 miles round trip and the muscles are getting toned up for longer trips to come.    I'll be ready for the Delta this spring. 

Sounds like good action and good company.  Good Times.
