    Default Tough day!

    Went to Skinner this morning, started off rather good except that I broke my fish finder... gotta pull the trigger now on the humming bird... $4000 will be hard to come by. We got to the lake at around 08:30, we seen 10 boats ahead of us and we were happy as the website said that they opened @ 09:00. Well to our sad shock they waved to us and indicated that the 25 boat cap had been reached, we were allegedly # 28, as we pulled up I explained that we had driven 3 hours from Barstow, (My Buddy) and that we were both RN's and this was our first day off in a while (His) and that were were battle fatigued from the front line fighting. Ranger asked if we had paid to fish and Launch, I said no and he told me to pay and meet him at the launch ramp! We waited in the parking lot for 30 minutes and he approched us and said " I thought I told you to go ahead and launch?" Well it didn't take us but a minute to get out on the water. The fishing was really slow, My buddy Justin landed 2 small LMB, I caught a catfish on a fly lined sinko, my line got tangled on my other reels and I broke it off and had to handline it in.

    I got there at 5 and was the 8th vehicle in line. They opened the first set of gates around 7:45 and I was through the guard shack by 8:10.

    We landed 13 fish and had equally as many missed opportunities. Largest bass was 6lbs and we had an 8lb catfish hit a crank bait.

    Fish were caught on topwater, crankbaits, and flipping.

    The lake hours are total BS but im thankful the lakes even open.

    Hopefully everyone will start going to DVL now that its open.
