Hi folks! What a great day on the lake!

I met Ned02 at the 2nd Ramp at about 0530 or so and me met another AZBP reader that has yet to post. Nice meeting you Tom!

Anyway, Ned02 and I tried our luck at Shiprock Flats and had no luck so we went to Mesquite where, you guessed it, no luck again. We saw Ranger there though, he was bragging about his monster LM he caught earlier. We trolled along the Mesquite Buoy line and caught.....yeah you guessed right again....NADA!

Shortly after our skunk-o-rama we saw Ken and DA fishing in the .....Oh yeah, I'm not supposed to tell. Anyway Ken and DA were nailing Yellows left and right. Me being the guy never too proud to crash a party, decided to join in carefully manuvering my boat to wear I didn't put it right in front of Ken or DA with as little wake as possible.

Ken and DA didn't appear to be to angry. I didn't have any heavy Lures casted my way (can't say the same for "SH"or Ned02). Anyway, we commenced to slay the yellows! All caught on Kastmasters. Chrome 3/8 oz. I caught the largest Yellow I have ever seen. 1 1/2 lbs.!!!!! Jack or Ned02 took some pictures so I hope they come out ok. I also threw my (I should say Jack's since I lost my last one) Kastmaster in to a LM boil and WHAM! That was Awesome! My drag was going crazy! He put up a great fight and Jack also took a picture of my 3 1/2 lb. LM! That was a rush. Ofcourse Ken had to catch a larger LM on his first cast after mine just to show me up......SHOW OFF!!!

It was a great day on the water and the weather was almost perfect! We got off the water a little after 10:00 and headed home to clean and filet dinner. By the way. The LM was put back to catch again, but those Yellows will be swimming in butter tonight!

Way to go John, nice catch! Those yellow bass do make for a tasty dinner. I've never even seen a 1.5 lb. yellow bass. WTG! How did you significant other do catching fish? Aren't you the one who said he is a Kastmaster expert? :lol:

To JohnSWA: Hey John, I just re-read my post to you earlier. My goodness....I made a few typos there. Relative to your significant other, I meant to type ...SHE....not HE.... Sorry about that. :?

Thanks Howard!

Wendy didn't make this trip. She worked late last night and I wasn't about to wake her up. I sure missed her though. She would have had a blast and yes, she IS the Kastmaster expert! I would have loves seeing her show Ken a thing or two!!! LOL :lol:

That oughta get a response out of Ken.

John, I'm sure you would have gotten a treat out of seeing Wendy kick some bass hiney with her Kastmaster, not to mention the possibility of showing off the the master anglers in the nearby boats! :lol:

Somebody needs to give me some competion. Maybe Wendy could. :wink: After all I watched Jack net the catch of the day. He jumps up, grabs the net and with one swoop, a two inch shad. Great catch. :roll: Anyway, I took home 50 yellows, which I fileted and am taking to San Deigo to my daughter and grandsons. Finished with only three bass, which one was a five. Caught overall about 70 plus yellows in three and a half hours of fishing. Some people can't find they're own fish. Can you Jack. He had to tie up to the back of my boat to be in fish. That's sad. No it was a great day with you guys, and all the others who dumped in on us. Later, and remember loose lips sinks ships.

WTG, John - I like the part about throwing the KM into the boil and pulling out the 3 1/2. Wait till Wendy learns that one!

Now why would I need to find my own fish when I have a mobile fishfinder driving a skeeter?as for the tie up your just mad because I was able to sneak up on you and let you tow me around for awhile before you noticed and I had to beat a hasty retreat!Do you know how hard it is to net a 2 inch shad in that big net?It was kinda funny the way it was just you and da then all of a sudden you had 4 or5 other boats parked within 30 feetof you, must be that sparkling personality?or maybe it was that dance you were doing? lol..Have fun in San Diego.
