Shasta Lake 4/8/10

Hit the Dam area today with the goal of getting the skunk off from Wed.
bassin in Salt Creek area for nada 
With intel from beenfishin that the kings and kokes are stacking up near the dam I went trolling and scored 5 small kings (13in.) (released 4) and a 15.5 kokanee.
Here's the un-edited vid of the fish of the day.
listen close near the end, I burp

Nice Kokanee! Must you beat that fish 5 times? (j/k)    Thanks for the report and video Tad.

Any fish that tries to get back in the water MUST be beaten up at least 5 times.

nice fish, looks like beautiful water

Nice fish, Tad.  "Right back in the net!"  Classic!   

Lake looks nice - how close to capacity is it?

North wind kicked in heavy around noon,
 3ft wind waves all the way back to the ramp.
A good workout though.

They were yummy

Yeah baby, nicely done!  Wish I could've been out there with you Tad...one of these days.  At least if I can't make it out myself I can experience it vicariously through others!  Thanks!
