Just getting recovered from yesterdays Sierra In the City Trout tournament and all I can say is WOW! What an amazing turn out for what was arguably one of the biggest and best Trout tournaments this year! The sheer amount of raffle prizes that our sponsors gave away yesterday was mind boggling. There was not a raffle prize under $10 handed out with prizes up to $500 given away! So I would like to thank all of the sponsors:
VC Girls Fishing Buffs
Angler Chronicles
Owner Hooks
Pure Fishing
Berkley
Shakesphere
Fenwick
Abu Garcia
Shimano
Diawa
Bass Knuckles
Davey's Locker Sportfishing
Newport Landing Sportfishing
H&M Sportfishing
Parchers Resort
Oakley
Bomber Eyewear
On Target
Big Bass Dreams
and the Irvine Lake Board of Directors
Without all of them and there generous donations none of this would have been possible so I thank you all very very much! A lot of smiles on everyone's faces yesterday and it was such a great vibe.
On to the fishing and what a day of fishing it was. A lot of stringers made their way up to the scales yesterday with a lot of quality fish in the mix. Fish where coming from all over the lake with the West Shore, Sierra Cove and the Santiago Flats. Bait fishing was great with nightcrawlers and Powerbait being the best methods. With the clear water longer leaders where the norm. Several anglers reported having near limits for 3 by 9 in the morning.
