[cool]Went out after work to tube south of 33 hole. First cast from the tube I got a nice lmb on the beetlespin. Continued kicking and casting towards the shoreline and caught about a half dozen small lmb on the beetlespin and the rattletrap. Saw a small pod of small lmb harrassing a school of shad. Very cool to see about 15 feet from me. Heard more noise by the shoreline and saw baitfish being pushed by some stripers. By the time I got there they had gone down but persistant casting landed me a 1.5lber. Was about to head in when along another shoreline erupted bigger boils. I kicked for all I was worth to make there and finally got to casting. After a couple minutes they came back up right behind me and I hooked a nice 2.5lb striper on a grub. They went down again and I began searching with a rattletrap. A few casts later it gets crushed by a nice fish. After a couple jumps I knew I had a nice bass on. It ended up being a 2.25-2.5lb smallmouth. What a great way to end the day. Stripers came home for tacos. Next trip headed to eastern sierras middle next week for flyfishing action.
