Lake Berryessa 7-26-08

[HiTechKoke]

Took my younger daughter fishing on Sat at Berryessa. It was a scratch bite for the day with some more active moments here and there. 5 fish total with 4 fish overall from the Ranch House to Goat Island and a trout that we let live another day. Fished the dam in the afternoon for a while and got 1 Koke and a couple more LDR's there as well.

Fish were 50 to 70 feet and from the radio chatter it was a tough day for most and most of the fish were coming at 49 to 55 feet when they got them. Water temp at that depth 57 to 60 degrees. Most of our fish came from 50 to 60 as well.

Our fish came on a variety of things. Red Splatter Assassin Spinner, Pink UL Lures with a smorgasbord of scents. 4 of the fish were 12 to 15.5 inches and the highlight for the day was my solid 18 incher that came on a 2.25 Chartreuse / Natural RGT with a 3/0 starlight dodger at 70 feet which is my best fish for the year. He was starting to lose his scales and getting that good old Kokanee grin!

A few pics to cap it off...

They are but they didn't get much of a work out... I need more on the water time with them.... they would be useful for the FG trip.

Tks Big D - will tell Jared Hello on behalf of you FG regulars.
