Convict and June lake opening weekend 2007(lots of pics)
We left the house at 8:40 pm friday night and got to our room at exactly 1:00 am Saturday morning. We sleep till 3:00 and then off to convict lake. The bite was wide open i caught my first fish at 5:04 and 5 fish by 5:14 all released. My dad caught the first big fish of the day just over 2 pounds. Then my bro catches another big one and im still waiting for mine. Not long of my poles goes down and i set the hook and the dragstarts to scream, the fish takes off and jumped clear out of the water twice in looked to be about 5 pounds. i get get him within 5 feet of the shore but he runs into some weeds in the water and fought him in their for a while until he final brakes my line. i fought that fish for about 15 minutes. About 30 minutes later my bros pole goes down and the line starts screaming and in jumps a few times, looked to be about 4 pounds but heads to the same weeds i got broken off and same happens to him. Then around 8 the bite shut down with a few fish here and there. Right before we left i was throwing a jig and saw a 2 pounder nail it and landed that one. When we left we had 11 fish and released the rest. between the three of us we caught about 60 fish.
June lake: we rented about and the fishing was so slow we only managed 7 fish between the three of us . And it was colder and windy . My dad did manage a nice cutthroat.
Convict monday: we fished from 6 to 9 and caught 8 fish. One was a decent sized one and only keep two. One i caught on a jig right before we left and i saw him eat it to. The water was so clear. I saw a huge trout come about 7 feet from shore and it looke like an easy 7+ fish.
