Fri,Sat,Sun

Will be fishing Mendo for Stripers, Lake Sonoma for LL Steelhead, Goat Rock or Shell Beach for Perch. Fri Sat and Sun.
Don't care what day I fish where, anybody want to join let me know.
If you have to travel I have a place to stay.

Hey Mike - if I'm feeling better and up for a drive, I may hit mendo again. It all depends on how long this flu bugs me.

Hey Mike I'm up for mendo again on Sat.  My Wife has plans for me on friday.(yes dear) same place same time?

Mike

  My Wife has plans for me on friday.(yes dear)

I hope she isn't making you go shopping.  I got suckered into dropping my GF off at the mall.  Got to build the GAF.

Sat sounds good we just need good a report from Sean.

Shopping OH Yea! after 35 years Sometimes you just do it. I'll be there the only thing that will stop me is rain.

Mike

No amazing report, but we elected to fish the "wrong end" of the lake.   We saw the Prez of the SBA this morning and he said that he has been seeing fish in the north end, particularly off Vinegar Point.  Topwater has been late in the day...3:00 to dark.

Sean do you think the rain messed up the visabilty at the lake? Does it make a differance to the stripers when your trolling minnows.

I'm still on. I'm wondering where vinegar point is, I asume on the dam end.  and if the bite is on later in the day, do you want to start later?

Mike

Mike Vinegar Point is the point just south of the campground we stayed at for Mendo Bendo, with the big tower on it.
I was thinking the same thing of starting later,just trying to fiqure if the rain muddied the lake, and it might make it tough for the stripers
to find the minnows. The wind is howling  up here big time right now and is forecast to blow up to 30mph tomorrow calming Sun.
I'll PM Sean and see what he thinks with the wind and the muddy water?

if the wind is that bad it will make for some rough paddling.  Maybe we should try anouther day. let me know what you findout I'll be checking in.  so are you spending the weekend up there?

No I live in Santa Rosa the weather is basicly the same just a little worse the further north you go on 101.
Went to Lake Sonoma today it was whitecaps every where. I'm thinking Sun.

Me too.  lets try sunday. anyway my wife has an endless supply of honey do's got to take thanksgiving down and put Xmas up. It's hard being retired.

Mike
