Hey guys
Arrived saturday afternoon, went to gull lake. Shore fishing by the playground my wife caught 4 on salmon pb, 3 c&r and 1 keeper. I got skunked. Sunday we hit june lake in a pontoon boat 1/2 day. My wife again caught 4 on salmon pb, 3 c&r and 1 keeper. I caught 3, 1 on corn pb, 1 on salmon pb and 1 keeper on a mepps spinner. That afternoon we went to gull meadows and tried fishing of the dock, but it was to windy so we headed over to the playground side again. My wife was tried so she watched while I fished. I tried different lures with no luck, so I got out her trusty salmon pb and caught 1 c&r. Monday we drove down to convict lake and fished till 11:00, I got skunked and she caught 1 on her salmon pb c&r. We then drove down to rock creek lake and found a spot along the rocky shoreline by the parking lot. My wife got the skunk, fish not going for her salmon pb. I caught 1 on chunky cheese pb c&r, then I strated using a chrome thomas bouyant and my luck changed. Caught 1 nice keeper and then after about four more casts hooked into a big one, my personal best, a 25" long 6lb rainbow, I was major stoked. I had another nice one but lost him about 20' from shore, no problem I had my trophy. Tuesday the weather was windy and rained of and on so we went sightseeing. Wednesday we went out on a pontoon boat again at june lake. My wife got the skunk again, I think her trusty salmon pb was done. I caught 3 on gold thomas bouyants c&r, it was still fairly windy. That afternoon I went back over to gull lake by the playground for my last couple of hours of fishing before we left the next morning, my wife was done fishing. I caught 2 more c&r, 1 on orange pulp pb and 1 on the trusty salmon pb. All total I caught 12 and my wife caught 9, 5 keepers. I dethroned the pb queen and she`s got her work cutout now to beat my new personal best. We had a great time and I can`t wait to go back. I`ll follow with some pictures.
Thanks Bill
