Scoop and Poop Hit The Water Again!
Posted: November 5th, 2009, 8:40 pm
Thanks for the warm reception on my first post last night. For those who read that post yesterday, you'll understand tonight's Subject Headline.
Today, the pound hound and I hit the water again. We put in at Rock Landing around 1000 and the wind was ripping. On top of that, it looked like someone pulled the plug on the drain. The wind coupled with the low tide made unloading a challenge. Thanks to a gentleman waiting on his fishing partner (he provided a much needed push) the launch went better than it could have flying solo with those conditions.
On my first stop, I noted that pound hound decided to bat a thousand and left another landmine in the boat. Fortunately, today I wasn't fighting a fish when I discovered it. Over the side it went, after I took a picture of it and sent it to my wife with the heading "What type of bait is this?". She lovingly replied "that's what the dog thinks of your fishing skills".
After 4.5 hours of getting whipped by the wind and covering most of the Bay, I managed to land the first fish of the day, a nice fat 18 inch trout that unfortunately swallowed the jig. I wasn't planning on keeping fish today, but I didn't want to let this one go due to the jig in it's gut. From 2:30 until approximately 5:00, I managed to catch 8 trout, 1 lizzard fish, 1 flounder (caught on a lizzard fish strip: thanks for the tip), and one small shark. Everything was caught on a CJ with a New Penny Gulp in 4 foot or less of water. I tried various other lures, but they didn't come through today. Water temp. was 66-68.
There were 5 or 6 other boats out there today. Most of them were moving around. I did note one boat that made several drifts over an hour or so. Maybe they had better luck.
The trout went home with a cane-pole fishing lady at the boat ramp.
Unfortunately, she wouldn't take the dog along with the trout. 
Maybe next time.
Sorry but there really wasn't anything worth taking a picture of to post on the board.
Take Care....
