I trolled Lake Camanche (in the foothills near Stockton, CA) on
Thursday from 0900 to about 1600. A fighting mad two pounder took my
Rapala Firetiger at 20' near Big Hat Island during the first hour to
get my day started off right. He took several good runs from the boat
before winding up in the net. I trolled six more hours for three more
fish - and couldn't buy that limit fish. (Five trout is a limit.)
The day was breezy but warm and sunny. The afternoon grew just plain
windy and single-handed trolling became a chore. One other fisherman
was trolling nearby with his buddy and proudly showed me their eight
pounder and about a five pounder. They said the big ones hit much
earlier in the morning. The fella is leading in the current trout
derby now taking place on Camanche through May 24.
Perhaps the wind will lie down next week and I can get out to Suisun
Bay for some more sturgeon fishing. #$%^@!! wind!!

Nice shots. Keep 'em coming, Dale.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
