Well got a really late start and left my house at 4:20am on Sat. picked Max up and we were on our way. Had to work Fri. and had a dinner party that night, so that's why i was late. But anyway had heard about all the people heading up and was just ready for crowds. Got to the lake and there was no launch line, and parking right up front. Anyway the troll was real weak this first day and was glad we had worms. So baiting down in 15ft of water was our first strategy. it paid off with a WFO bite on smaller fish, except for one almost 2lbs. So after it got a little breezy we decided to go to crooked creek, and see what was up. After getting a few more on bait, I decided to throw some lures. So i tie on a J-11 in gold/black and set my rod down to put the bimini away. Max picks up my rod and on the first cast scores a nice brown, bastard. We leave at about 8pm. I had the last room reserved at motel6 in Bishop, luckily. Anyway next day we get an early start and back to Crowley. This time we pick JonJon up at Beaver Cove and go back to McGee bay. This time I figured to go either deeper or shallower than 15ft from yesterday. Went with shallower and it was WFO again but with alot bigger fish averaging 3+lbs with a few bigger. Slayed 15 fish by 11am and trolled in for nada. I think we only got 3 smaller fish and the rest were just great fish. Here are some pics, not alot though, too busy fishing...
Biggest fish for Sat. that Max caught.
