Scouting the American River 9/26

VallejoDave, Daviator, and I spent 10 hours on the AR hunting/trolling for the King but none of us got any lucks there.  Not a good day catching but we enjoyed the weather and scenery.  I spent over 3 hours scouting/exploring the river from Watt's bridge to the bridge on J's Street passing several rapids on the way!  Saw Adam while he's walking on the Footbridge and he gave me some tip on a deep hole near the pump house so I worked that area for half-an-hour but no love for me today.  Want ot spent more time there but decided to get back to the launch before the other Loose Screws calling to report "missing kayaker"  since I've been gone for over 3 hours and neither of us can contact each other via the marine radio!  Here are some nice scenery pictures along the AR.

A few more picture...

Thanks for this report, Sonny - I needed some scenery pics.  Not that I'm glad you didn't catch a fish, but it's nice to see some scenery.   

Good luck on your next attempt.

Thanks for your appreciation Eric.  While we're anchored fishing, we saw lots of "jumpers" and "rollers" but unfortunately no "takers" 

looks like a very nice day out there some fish would be a bonus  but just gives some incentive to get back at it

Man those pictures sure make it look beautiful here! Sorry I missed you.

Hey, I've paddled those areas.  And caught nothing too.

Love that DIY bimini / wind drift chute! Thx for sharing. I was out there today, and there was decent surface action, but no takers after 9am.

nice try sonny.  You never disappoint with the good pics.!

Way to give it a try fellas. Would have loved to had fished with you guys rather than being stuck here at work. See you all soon.

Beautiful day to be on the water, look the pics; sorry no fish, would have been a nice bonus!

@HobieDave: graphics look good  I also like your custom shade tree! Need to come up with something similiar to keep from getting sunburned like I did when we went to Benecia.....

@Daviator and Sailfish: I got yours too! Just got to get them on your yak!!!!!

Thank you Glen,  can't wait to put the decals on my yaks!

Nice pictures Sonny, you've got a knack for capturing the essence of the quality time us yakers share. Thank you Adam for the OTW tips may be just the ticket, next time. Dave, glad you fixed that battery connection and got your wheels rolling Monday morning. Thanks for the treats Sonny and Dave. Love that Tommy Bahama shade. An exact fit to a Hobbie scupper hole, use some noodle as a stopper. Secure it, otherwise a wind gust will cause it to fly out. Thanks Dave for fetching while I was at anchor.

Thanks for the report Sonny.  Bummer about the skunk. 

I hope to be able to join the Screws (and maybe put you on some fish )  when you next fish the American.
