i honestly can't remember the last time i was out at the mid...i used to come here and fish a lot with my dad when i was younger, so it felt good to visit it once again :Smile:

Went out with my parents on their bass boat today, something i haven't done in a while which i should do waaaaay more often. it was quite breezy driving down the 138 and was worrying about the lake conditions, turned out i was right...it was windy ALL DAY, lol. Got the boat in the water around 630am, lines wet at 645. the target today were lmb and smb so i started out with a spinnerbait with no love...switched over to a 1/2 oz rat-l-trap and about the 3rd cast in i hookup....and to my surprise it was not a bass, but a starving rainbow trout....thats a first for me on a rat-l-trap, lol. the sun was starting to get high so my dad and i switched over to the soft plastics and started catching em'. it was kinda hit or miss for us...we lost more fish than we caught, including a nice smallie...but we ended up boating 5 healthy chunks between the two of us...so not a total loss, we had fun. called it a day around 2:30pm. all bass were released...with the exception of my trout dinner tonight...nomnomnom...

i was really surprised by the hungry, anorexic, trout....i had an even larger one follow my roboworm up to the boat. i actually had my trout rod with a mini jig already rigged up to it and tossed that out after him...he turned and instantly grabbed it...but got off...looks like it's dinner for one tonight, will have to call the girlfriend and tell her to eat a sandwich or something, lol

was quiet in the marina, but the wind picked up the minute we left it...

Wow what a great report! You guys did really good considering the conditions... And looks like everyone had a great day in the water.

Guess you'll be on your parents bass boat again someday soon....

Haha believe me he would have. He's a trip to go fishing with...he knows when u hook up because no matter where he is on the boat he is instantly beneath your feet waiting for you to pull the fish out of the water...I actually stopped using my spinnerbait this morning because he kept barking at it and trying to dive in and chase it, lol

I've actually caught more trout than bass at Pyramid on Rat-l-traps. Basically the same one you were using (chrome). I'm definitely going to bring it up to the sierras on my next trip to see how it works up there.
