i got contacted by a regular who hadnt been out fishing in a while and he wanted to fish ,we set a day and went out . ernie and john met me just before opening they got there stuff on the boat and we got thru the gate . the wind was calm and it wasnt to cold ,it was really nice that is for about and hour then it turned nasty cold . the water level was so close to full pool it was nearly cresting the spillway at the dam, the first fish was a lmb then the stripers slowly came to life. the water was clear in the top five feet or so then very dark and strirred up, we had so many short strikes it wasnt funny and so many grabs off the clips but not hook ups i rotated colors and speeds on the runs over the schools chasing and feeding on bait , but it was one of those days were i thouhgt i was coming back from catalina on rough water all day. it was too rough to fish the trout area so we just passed on that and stayed after mr stripey ,the boys got a day away from work and few fish for some striper dinners so we were all happy, thank you ernie and john and cant wait for athe next trip ,probably the mid for a little trifecta action next month,,,,,,,,,,,,,,T/O,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
