What ta say about these events…
ALWAYS fun !
Always Good people
ALWAYS A GOOD TIME WITH OUR FELLOW FISHIN’ FRIENDS : )
Started out in line….people laughin’
Jokin’
Eatin’
Some weird stuff goin on between Bob and Hiro but they are both my friends so I guess I’ll be politically correct and say I guess that’s ok…..
(remember I fish therefore I lie…really grab arse in line is NOT acceptable !)
Got to meet a few of you FNN’rs that I had not met yet….my pleasure meeting you all, hope to see you on the water more this year
Your all top notch in my book….may the fishing gods rain many a hookup for you this season !
The twisted snow and rain storm the night before surely didn’t help the prospects but mother nature sometimes has a way ta make you appreciate those good weather patterns
We all held our ground and prepared for the battle..
Rain and snow all cleared by MANY hours…
Wind was howling
But calmed some as we hit the water…
Here’s my tub……staging next to Bob’s infamous Red Phenom (my boat is a little more shy and does not go by any title other than “the TUB”)

NOTE: though the wind was still gusting at times, you can see that the water was still WAY tolerable !
I SAW the Mike’s Ocean n’ Cutbait trolling incident…
My initial thoughts were: “how the heck did that happen ???”
THEN I saw what they were trolling…..
Trailblazer and Double A didn’t seem to mind though…seemed like they were getting they’re rave ON !

Hiro made fair time in landing the 1st fish on my tub…
A nice solid Mossback supplied him a great fight….

As for me….I was slingin some big trout baits…..
Slingin’ ‘em hard….
But to no avail…
Eventually went looking for a bait spot…
Found TWO HUGE schools of HUGE fish…..
By the time I looped round to anchor they were GONE….
Roamers !
(carpbait mentioned seeing a similar thing)
Anchored down and fished some fresh dines and some crawlers (stitched of course)
My skunkbustin’ fish was about a 3lb kitty on a stitched crawler…
AND….
Back in the BATcave………
Across the lake in parts unknown ….where the wind gusts were a bit more extreme….
Bob was spotted fishin’in the cold winds..!
Bob is hardcore…I am surprised he wasn’t wearin’ his shorts…
NOT sure how his vertical jigging went but I know that side of the lake was signifigantly colder than the channel where I was dwelling…
Here’s a candid shot of Bob jiggin for his valued Striped Bass !
HARDCORE BOB !

Coefficient was out yaking (not the Saturday night partee type either !)
He was hardcore…and though winds were at many times tolerable..there were some intermittent gusts…
I saw ‘em trolling those gusts….gettin’ his striper slay ON !

Not sure how that ended….?
Hope U landed ‘em buddy : )
I ended up hooking up another 3lb kitty on a dine…
Flatline Trolled for about 30-45 minutes..
That produced 1 hookup for Hiro and 3 strikes for me but no hookup…
I was running a pretty big lure…just didn’t get the steel into ‘em : (
Went back and hunkered on some roaming schools which had some really nice grade fish mixed in…
But it seems the storms rapidly fluxuating barometer most likely did not fare well with the larger stripers bite pattern…
All in all a wonderful time out on the water..
We did take some lumps but that’s what fishing is all about..
If one waits for every single factor to be perfect…they will most likely miss out on a great fishing trip…
I will be back there with a vengeance soon enough….
Good times everyone….great to see you out there..
Thank you Pyramid Lake : )
