6-9-12 Holiday To Golden Gate

[Feathers and Fins]

I have been wanting to get over and play in Randy's (RPS's) yard for awhile and finally got the chance today. First it was a beautiful morning no other way to put it. No generation and flat calm. Shad were supper thick and were very easy to get actually had more in one net than i needed for three days lol. The old bridge kicked out 20 bass from 2 to 4 pounds but something had the shad running up on shore llike lemmings.

So I tossed a couple of the bigger shad about 10 ft outside of the suicide and hooked a Hybrid yes a 5pnd hybrid follwed by 3 more, So I guess that answers a question I have had for a while now. They be there lol. It slowed down about 10:00am so I went on the troll with Rapalas in Silver and Fire Tiger in 18 to 25 ft of water. I did manage a few small eyes nothing legal but still fun.

Went back to the bridge area and caught a few more Bass and snagged a Spoony that took over an hour to get to the boat first I ever have caught and I would guess him around 60pnds or so Never caught them before so no way to guage them for size on visual.

The Tube and Tahoe hatch started about 2pm but not real bad but by 4pm it was getting dangerous so I CALLED IT QUITS.

Beautiful day and after two weeks being laid out much needed... I cant wait to get back and try and find some walley of the more legal size.
