NorCal: Hogan Stripers are Boiling! June 19

[FishWisher]

I launched around 0730 and began rolling anchovies at 20' and 30' from the ramps toward Deer Flat. I could see boiling along the first cove for some time before I got there. When I reached that first cove along Deer Flat, I began tossing a RattleTrap near weeds that had stripers boiling, chasing shad, I suppose. I couldn't toss into the weeds, but around them, but couldn't get a bite. There were small boils in the main lake much of the morning, and I tossed into some of them - also with no luck. But I didn't take the time to reel in the downriggers and give the boils all the effort I could have.

I did manage one 4½ lb. striper on the 20' deep troll. That one came fairly early - but that was all I could manage for the morning's efforts.

By 1100 the lice were taking over, and by noon when I left it was pure summertime havoc on the lake. But not nearly as bad as it must be on weekends! I'm glad I don't have to fish weekends!

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Hey there FishWisher - thanks for the fishing report. Here you are talking about ice and we in SoCal are suffering through a heat wave. We had a 50º swing in temps yesterday. Really to dam warm for any trout fishing. BTW please send all un-used ice south.[/size][/#008000][/font]
