After a busy month of all kinds of stuff going on, helping people move, graduations, goodbyes at airports- etc etc....managed to get away and actually fish on a saturday.
Took out my friend Dale from Temecula and his son-in-law Chris who is stationed on submarines in the U.S Navy on vacation to do some fishin at Lake Skinner yesterday. the ballon and wine festival was last weekend, and with the lake closed for boating we were hoping the fish were hungry! The morning troll bite was on for stripers, foggy, water glassy a little grass and boils popping here and there, stuck a couple on hardbaits -lousy visability up until 8am when the fog lifted. Surface water temps where from 71-74f, water clarity great. The best part of the trip was nailing "Holdovers" yes Holdovers in the summer! We were fishing deep with crawlers, and out of nowhere wham zzzzzzzzzzzzz, the streak continued up until noon. Dale had one took him under the boat, went airborne behind him about 15 feet, it looked like a solid 4 and it was gone. But he ended up with almost limit, the trout where cold and had thick shoulders. Couple of the males had DV jaws on them. It was a good day.
