Shouldn't they be on FIRE this time of year??? :-k
Hubby and I FINALLY got out yesterday afternoon. As late as it was, we stuck to the North Delta, and headed up into Lost. Looked like PERFECT LMB conditions.... Water temps 76-78 degrees (could this be TOO warm?), Air temps 95+, Delta breeze WNW 3-10 mph, high tide comin' in around 7 pm, plenty of cover and rocky banks with lots of shade. I think I got ONE bite, and missed it (little guy couldn't get the hook in his mouth), and hubby caught about a 10 incher. Carp were rollin' all over, and stripes were jumpin' full body out of the water, and I couldn't catch a one of 'em!
Frustrated, we made a last ditch attempt down the other way, and ended up getting many more bites with hubby picking up a couple more little guys + an 18-19 stripe. Some of the bites I was getting were 5-8 feet OUTSIDE the weed line (cause I fish it all the way to the boat, don't ya know:nod:)! But, that nice Delta breeze turned into West 20 mph gusts... Couldn't believe how much slimy moss there was!
Hadn't been fishin' since the Bass N Fly - and boy did my casting show it! Hooked myself about 3 times and beat the hell outta the motor, LOL :lol:.
Ah, well, at least I got my casting practice in.... 8-)
