Hard Times on New Melones Lake (Kalifornistan)
I just couldn't seem to do anything right this trip. After the 65 mile
drive to the lakeside bait shop, Glory Hole Sports near Angels Camp, CA, I discovered I had no wallet and no phone! To add to the troubles, I managed to cross the downrigger weights at 85+ feet deep and get them hung up on one another, then cutting my hands on the cables trying to free them. I also burned out a downrigger in the process. And having to move to another anchorage at 0300 the next morning didn't add to my pleasure. To put a cap on this great trip I managed to fall off the trailer while retrieving the boat. But still... The worst day fishing is better than the best day working!

I'll bet your the kind of " weekend warrior" that drags those lines through fishing nets, then states " It's not my fault ". |

Yeah, it seems like there are days when all the down luck can come back concentrated. I suppose thats making up for the days when all went well. I'm sure better days are ahead. I always enjoy your posts, Dale |

your the kind of " weekend warrior" that drags those lines through fishing nets, then states " It's not my fault ". Kiss my ass, jerkoff. When you spend your life talking instead of doing, of course you are an expert. Trolling at 85+ feet it takes very little to cross downrigger pancakes. But what would a mouth like you know about real life?! It's about time for mama to bring you dinner in the basement, isn't it? Enjoy. |

Besides, if you take out a net or two, you're doing a service for mankind. |

Hard Times on New Melones Lake (Kalifornistan)
You guys are too kind - with one glaring exception. Bad days fishing
are not really bad days. I agree. BTW, I've had crankers before and never again! Especially at 85 feet or more for kokes! Big trip to Wallowa Lake in Oregon planned soon. That's the lake in NE Oregon where the pending world's record koke of 9.7 lbs. was caught this year. We're likely too late for the kokanee, but maybe some great trout fishing. And mackinaw are possible - that would be a first for me. And then I'll be chasing salmon - our first salmon season on the Delta in several years is now on but I think it's too early 'til mid September. Dale |
