Good thing she's not in the pool...

Since my mom was in town me and my wife were able to get out this morning together, a truely rare treat.  Nana rocks!  

The conditions were beautiful, and the bait was good.  My wife was happy just to be out there.  At five foot and a crumb, she looked like a speck on the eX.



We trolled for about 45 minutes and Leah went bendo.  She was so happy!  The fish came to the boat really quickly, and then made a bunch of crazy lunges and thrashes, and eventually got crossed up with my line.  The fish made a long run, and the tangle came magically undone.  I passed Leah the pliers and bam...she holds up a REAL nice early season fish.  



I caught nada, but was super stoked to see her so happy.  We released the fish so its still available for the tourney.    We were off the water by 11:30.

Not only does your kid catch bigger stripers than I do, now your wife does. I think I am going to cry!

HAHA!  The bite is slow but steady, you guys should get up here before the word gets out and it gets busy.

I think you and your wife have caught the two biggest stripers off kayaks I've seen this year.  I hope you two aren't in our striper jackpot... otherwise we don't stand a chance winning  

I've heard a couple reports fo 20 -35lbers coming out of the delta on the troll. I guess the spring delta bite has kicked on too. Nice fish!

ey Brian....stop posting as a "guest".....register on the board...or I'll hurt your feelings  

How's the Fish n' Dive working out for ya?

I'm not supposed to log in to stuff while at work...others are watching!

The fish'n'dive has been high and dry. I've been working too much to play. I am ordering a set of Malone j stackers so I can carry that beast. I'm trying to get permission to go play this weekend as my work is caught up now. Oh darn did I say that?  I did manage to have fish tacos last night, yummy rockcod from the freezer. I gotta go fishing now and that was the last of frozen fish!

Brian G,

I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time on that NorCal Kayak Angler's site.  I really can't condone such action at work.  Why don't you take the rest of the week off and go fishing?  I hear the striper action is starting to heat up at Lake Mendocino.  Any time you need a day off so as not to miss the hot bite, just let me know.  I'm sure we can work something out.
