Thanks for another great report and pictures. It sounds like you you have been having lots of fun with the whites and the kitties lately. Good for your and keep it up!
I have been out there this year, but not as much as last year and Julie has yet to go with me. First it was too cold in the morning and then one day later it was too hot!
I saw your reply to Cowboypirate about the apparent shortage of larger fish from the golden pond this year and I thought I'd chime in. It has affected me this year, but I'm going to say "so far."
I have fished with both big and small baits and big and small floats/attractors on most of my trips and so far the best fish of the year have come on smaller WB chunks. I have also done some very early morning and very late evening outings and got more sleep deprivation headaches than larger fish.
I have spent more time "exploring" this year and that has kept me in shallower water, but there should have been some big fish in there as well. I can say that most of our 30+ fish the last few years came in September and October so I'm not worried yet.
If I were to guess, for me the lack of big fish comes from not having Julie in the boat
BTW, I have yet to catch a Koke down there either.
Thanks for sharing all your experience and wit!
Keep it comming
