Had My Opening Day!
 
Nothing but fair weather in California with an occasional rain shower this
year. Bad tidings for lake levels and drinking water for this overpopulated
state!

On the other hand, great days for taking the boat out! I cleaned up my
boat, Sea Ray 185 Sport, and charged the battery and fired up the motor last
weekend. Yesterday, my friend called and said "Let's go fishing." I said,
"Ok."

We trailered to Clear Lake and launched at Lakeport. Light winds. Blue
skies. Mid 70's. Uncrowded (it's a big lake and it was a weekday). Flat
water. Deli sandwiches, sodas, double-stuff Oreo's, Opened up the throttle
a couple of times, otherwise just cruised from fishing hole to fishing hole
for 8 hours on a beautiful day.

Boat ran well and all things seem in order for a fresh boating season. It
was a great day!

Was beautiful up till today. Down to the 60's and rain forcast for Monday
with a 3000' snow level. 62 degrees at sea level for a high. But warming
to the 70's towards Thursday. We do need more precipitation.

Did you catch any fish???

Glad to hear you had a great day. Hope they're all that way!

I didn't mention the fish because, well, because we didn't catch any! The
bass were everywhere and we got hits all day, but none were willing to take
the bait hook line and sinker.

A couple of guys said they had luck with live minnows, but we didn't have
live bait.

Thanks for bringing that subject up for discussion.

I thought some would appreciate the report as tidings of good things to
come. It was especially important to me to get the boat out; I'm having
back surgery in a few weeks and worry about when I can get back on the
water!

Tom, you need it.

If you didn't need it, you wouldn't be getting it.

84 and calm here today. I wish I had been prepared to dig the boat
out. I want to work on it in the worst way, but the only place I have
at my house is the lawn, and it's waaay too soggy and tracks up
easily.

errrr! maybe next week the lawn will solidify that is, if no more
rain, and then can I plan out what I want to do to it.
