Just wanted to say Thanks to all our Veterans out there for your service. GBF had a fishout scheduled for today and Joey and I had hoped to catch a ride with someone with a boat to pursue his quest to catch his first Striper on a fly. All boats were spoken for so we decide to rent a boat for $60/day from Paradise Point Marina. The group was going to meet early at 0600 but we opted to sleep in since we could not pick up our boat till 0800. We were pretty much were on our own with a bare bones boat with a 15hp Evenrude, but we had one thing going for us and that was the knowledge I obtained from a NCFFB Striper mini bash hosted by LeeS about 3 years ago.
So we loaded up our stuff and headed out into the Delta. We had everything we needed for a full day of fun. Food, Drink, Rain gear and a GPS just in case we got lost. I rigged up 1 rod for going deep and one with a popper. Joey used his new Striper sinking line. I don’t know if any of you have been in a small boat with a 12yr old flinging Clouser’s but I think you either have to be pretty brave or just half crazy. I have not decided which one I am yet.
We fished Disappointment Slough area the whole day. I had a map but with very little experience it was pretty much useless. We ventured out and just fished all the spots that looked fishy. Problem was they all looked fishy. We checked out the side channels looking for some deeper water that was not all weeded up. We fished the rock banks and what ever structure we could find. The Delta is such a Creepy Cool place with all the stuff that out there. There are some many things out there you just don’t what you are going to see around the next corner.
continued next post due to board s/w issues
