Sunday, 10/12/08- Hit the water early (5am). Forty nine degrees with a light breeze at the boat ramp when we lanched.

Made the run to Las Vegas Wash in the dark, started looking for shad. Filled the live well as the sun came up and headed for the channel. Before we had the chance to soak live bait the birds started showing us where the stripers were. We would follow stripers to the shoreline tossing bucktail jigs next to the shore and ripping them back to the boat. It seemed like we worked every cove from Vegas Wash to Gov't Wash. The action was steady enough to keep us casting until 10:30. Never used the shad.

Twenty stripers and one Talapia made it into the box today.

Nice cool day on the water! Off the water by 11:15.

No top water spooks or poppers or swimbaits or jigs or lipless cranks today. It was all bucktails!

Very nice- a step up from saturday. Good to see you back on the water! How did that tilapia come aboard? Did it hitch a ride in the cast net?

Hey BaySport,

Nice reports and nice pics as well. Looks like he had some good luck! I am also wondering, how did you bring in the tilipia? One more question, was there anyone fishing the shore near 33 hole? Its been a while since i have been out there and done that, wondering if there is any access at all left from shore that has any depth to the water. (oh an I am not counting if you fish from the top of a 50 foot cliff []) thxs!

Caught it in the cast net. Has happened several times before. You never know whats going to come up in the net. Carp, largemouth bass, stripers, cats, I've even pulled up someone's cast net before!

Was there anyone fishing the shore near 33 hole?

Yes, there were anglers shore fishing around Hole 33 on Sunday. I've never made the hike.
