Already Home....New Melones 7/24
Jul 24^th, 2009 at 11:35am

Back in Concord at 11:30 AM should give you an idea of the kind of bite we had.

It was, once again, off the hook. Had 2 limits to the boat right after 7AM. All nice chunks. Dennis had us on them from the "get-go"

I'll let Dennis fill in the details and I'll add pictures later.

Good seeing Mickey and Kathy out there. They were on the fish as well. (I'll share his secret when I post the pictures!)

Dick, congrats on a good morning out there with Dennis, glad to see that both of you got into some fish Wink

If it were me and I was camping for the weekend, I would go to Hellhole, if I just wanted a morning of fish, I would go to melones. Too many drunk skiers at melones, not really family fun atmosphere, just my two cents worth.

Ok, here's the details...

Best depth(s) were 64 and 67. RMT pink splatter dodger with a UL UV pink passion spinner, Kokanee Special scent 1.4 mph. A close second was a RMT bahama mama dodger and a HH five of diamonds spinner.

Hoghunter, thanks for the great breakfast. Oh, thanks again for the rod it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Freon, When did atmosphere start to matter to you?

Bob, No time for coffee, or even a Budweiser. Not as many doubles as on Wednesday but a few times we had one fish in the net when the second rod released. I think Mickey or Farrier Frank might call that a double. Grin
