A few of the guys at work wanted to go and chase some kitties. So Casey set up a time and got everyone on the same page. Yeah right.
Arrived at Linclon Beach around 5:15 to find Casey and Lee had made it. No sign of the other 3 who swore they would be there. Lee brought his girlfriend so he decided to bank tangle it. While casey and I launched our tubes below the day use area.
Water is low and temps are high.Waded out about 100 yards before I could sit in the tube. Temps were 78 at launch, needles to say I went wet today.
On my second cast I picked up something heavy. The fight was one and I do mean on. I was tossing a small bait bug on my ultra light and it got slurped by a big ole carpski. fun fun fun. Finally got him to the tube netted him and said to myself fresh carp me for bait. So I break out the fillet knife and cut off 2 nice fillets. Never I say NEVER again will I do that while floating. It stinks to high heaven, slimed me, the tube, and brought in every seagull on UL!!! YUK!!
Passed off one side of the carp to Casey (who left his bait at home). Gee thats sounded like some one I know. Well the sun is comming up over the muntains now and the fishing is starting to pick up. Well sort of pick up. And it didn't last long once the sun hit the water.
I ended the morning with 3 kitties biggest being around 3-4 pounds. 1 carp and a few white bass. They ranged from 10 to 15 inches and were fiesty as all get out today. Not a bad morning fishing but I had hoped for more .......... one always does. Lots of carp frolicking in the shallows and lots and lots of water fowl today. The bite slowed around 9 and we were off the water by 11.
