12/20/09 short AZ report
Got out early this morning super early on my friend Scott's bass boat to Pleasant. My boat is not upshifting gears, so we didn't bother bringing it (though our plans were to buddy boat cause we fish for different things). Original plans were to hit San Carlos, but both of us were too lazy to get our Indian permits done in time.
Played the silly LMB game for a while, mostly drop-shotting down deep at the entrance of coves, and as it got warmer a bit today we fished shallower and followed marks. Managed a few bass a piece with a couple at around 3.5 lbs on the spring scale.
Cranked up the engine and made the long jump to the Fria river cove, and used spoons and rattle traps for schoolie striper. Nothing terribly exciting, but it was a steady pick if you had patience. I forgot the trolling gear in California which bummed me out cause I wanted to really give this lake a little bit of TroutOnly technique to see what it would do. Next time.
As you know, I usually am good about posting pics, but I forgot the camera this time. I'll be sure to post pics this wednesday as a few other of my friends and I are going flathead fishin' at either Bartlett or the other lake right by it. If any of you FNNers find yourself in AZ and want to go fish wednesday, gimme a holler.
Happy Holidays!

A few years ago, I did catch one at Silverwood that weighed about a pound.
