Last Sat, ZUKI_BLUE and I got out and fished out of the South marina. We tried trolling for a couple of hours with no luck. We started around Freeway bay, hoping to see some boils but it wasn't to be. We headed over to the West side and started fligging it with great results. Purple or Firetiger were the hot fligs with fish after fish coming to the boat, even a double. Most were the standard size cats, 18 to 20" but there were several at 22" and one that was 23". Wind started picking up a little after noon so we headed in. Water temp was 62 degrees when we arrived, around 8am warming to 63 before we left. Water was murky everywhere we fished.
Mon, Wiperslayer and I got out to Willard around 7:30am, water temp was a little warmer, it started off at 63 degrees and warmed to 65 around noon. We did not bother to troll any cranks, went right to fligging and the cats were ready to play. Same colors as Sat worked, so we stayed with them. We stayed North of the North marina and did best a little West of Pat's kitty condo area, in 13 to 14 FOW, lots of doubles on this trip with a few bigger ones coming into the boat, including this nice 26 incher.

It's been fun this year catching so many cats at Willard but I think I hear pineview calling my name[
