Random fishing...

Started out at first light with some decent bass and Gill fishing..About noon we were cooking in hi 90 deg heat and decided to make a move. We pulled out and splashed the boat on Striper water not to far away. Wind was 20-30kts from the north and we struggled to find some fishable water lee from the wind..We finally settled on a less than desirable area with singles here and there but it worked out for a dozen Stripes between the two of us. All in all an ok day.

Nice falt calm morning

Agro sunnies!

July 4th..

As you can see I've had Stripers on the brain for while. We got out at first light with the intention of getting out of there early before the heat was too bad. Fished first light till 11:30am for plenty of hard pulling schoolies. Nothing big today but great numbers of 4-6lb fish in isolated areas. Good numbers of Mesquitos too! Bastards tore me up! The fly and Light tackle artificial bite is all you could ask for right now. Sadly, the fishing will taper off to a normal summer pattern here shortly when water temps start getting really warm.

Last couple of days...

have been brutal hot. Yeasterday was scortching on the water! Lots of fish and a great time but baking in the sun is not what I wanted to do two days in a row. Slept in a little, finished up some much needed boat work and headed over to the bay to fish off the rocks. Treasure Island to be exact. Its one of my favorite spots in a heat wave as it's always cool and breezy. The island sits about a mile east of San Francisco right in the middle of the bay.

As expected, the weather was awesome there and about 75!  Fished a couple of Surf Perch holes for a few and cast for Stripers with gear on some great looking water for nada. Inbetween, there were  side shows with cars in the large aboanded Navy Base parking lots going on. At the entrance to the island someone constructed a large Stainless Steal Wire art sculpture. It stands about 40' tall and was pretty impressive to say the least. It was pretty obvious a lot of work went into it! You can read about it here.
