03/24 - Lake Amador

Started trolling Lake Amador at around 11 am on Sunday 03/24.  Really just went up for the raffle drawing at 2pm because I had caught a tagged fish a few weeks ago.  I generally avoid weekends because they are really really crowded. 

Trolled a white grub on one pole and a shad imitation on the other.  The white grub got all the hits.  I hooked up three typical 3-4 pound Donaldson trout.  They are so much fun!  They jump and never give up.  I landed one that somehow put a hole in my net.

My hits were in the middle of the lake, crossing the spillway to the RV park.  I think the fish were in deeper water and came up when they were hungry.  Not many fish surfaced.  I also didn't see any schools of shad.  I bet they were deep too.

I end up with a lot of fish in the. Same area on the same rig. Way to go on the trout action.

Thanks for the report Adoboat.

Nice action, I've yet to land one of those hard fighting monster mutants.

+1    Glad you were able to fool some of those fish!  I know I cant! 

How did you do at the raffle?  I never even caught a tagged fish this year. 

Thanks for the report!  How big was the Donaldson?

It was 21 inches. Big enough to feed the family.
