finally got to go back out with catchingsomefish dave , we got there early and were prepped.hit the water and headed for the inlet ,single boils here and there. got to the area and dropped the troll gear and started watching the graph and surface activity.after metering a lot of marks but no hits ,we saw some surface popping. up came the troll gear and I dropped the trolling motor and started moving around in the stealth mode. it wasn't long and my swimbait got rid of the skunk. but then here comes a hoard of loudass bass boats full speed and a whole group of knucklehead noise makers.next thing you know there jumping back and forth ,boil to boil instead of sitting still and staying quiet letting the stripers come back up ,there was a whole fleet of them and rental boats running over boils and squeshing them.me and dave had a boil come up and we started fishing it and heres comes a bassguy full throttle he lands on top of them and away they go, I gave him a lecture and told him if he wanted to be stupid do it with the other stupid people and to get away from us.the boils brings out the worst in people ,instead of being cool and catching they act like a dog chasing his tail. after we got a few we couldn't take it anymore ,and headed for the fish arm , very little marks of schools or bait ,as we approached the old ss we started seeing a major debree field coming out of the Elizabeth canyon area reaching all the way out to old ss . logs branches wood of all sizes and floating crap completely cover the surface , it was from the flash flooding up the canyon over the last weekend. it was massive and I ndidnt want any part of it so we trolled back towards c-point ,then up the ski arm ,half way up it we started seeing marks but no hits the water really was bad with only a couple feet of visilbilty ,after noon came the boil whores all left . we got to chase some open water stuff with little boat traffic, the fish were hauling *** and didn't stay on top very long ,most of mine were caught on the swimbaits after they went down. the water on the inlet side was getting messed up with the algae water comin in from pyramid . in the broad daylight you could see how bad it was. the shad and stripers are happy with just any water coming in. dave said the latest surge was up 40 ft ,I could tell by the trolling lanes changing yet again..........thank you dave for sticking it out on a tough day....and thank you for the shirt.................
