Arrived Wednesday. Drove thru a rainstorm just outside of Independence (picked up gas at Fort Independence Casino which remains the cheapest gas in the Eastern Sierra's at $3.81 for regular). :Cool: Yesterday started clear and sunny but the clouds picked up and so did the winds. Today started clear and sunny with a few clouds. I was off the lake by noon with my limits, before the winds came up.
Yesterday, picked up a rental boat and some information at the shop from Robin. Started trolling just outside the harbor to Big Hilton at 2-3 colors with a frog tasmanian devil for nada. Drove over to the Relief in McGee and picked my first one on a perch needlefish. Then nothing. With the clouds, I switched to a bikini needlefish and had multiple hits at 2-3 colors from McGee to Sandy Point. Dropped anchor for some bait fishing. As soon as I put my first rod into the holder, bang - a 1.5 pounder. But that was it for the next 3 hours, even moved the boat three times. Back to trolling the bikini needlefish at 2-3 colors to finish out my limit around Sandy Point. A few cutts and the baitfish is what I cleaned. :Smile: Was out of the gate before 4 pm.
Today, zoomed over to the Relief in McGee and started trolling towards Sandy Point at 2-3 colors with the bikini needlefish. 5 hits over the same spot then it stopped so I trolled to Sandy Point for nada. Zoomed back over the 5 hit spot and picked up another 20 hits. Landed over a dozen but kept my limit - 3 cutts and fat 2 'bows. :Razz::Big Grin::Razz: Off the lake by nooon, cleaned fish and eating at Carl's in Bishop by 1 p.
One of these days, I'll learn to post pix... :Rolls Eyes:
