5-9-11

Today I guided Brett Nystrom and Philip Purser for Stripers. We met in Colusa at 5:00AM and headed to Ward's Landing. We launched the boat and headed down stream to the Fox Hole. We grabbed the worming rods and wormed our way down the bank catching 6 fish the first pass, of which 3 went into the box. We went back up and made another pass and caught a couple more shakers before heading down to the Red Sea. We worked the whole bank on the West side of the river and had a couple of hits, and Philip landed a nice 12 pound male for the box. We continued to work our way down stream and caught a fish or two at almost every stop, but it wasn't until we got below Pierce's dock that the action heated up. We worked the shallows below Pierce's dock and caught another 15-20 fish of which most were keepers. We kept the rest of our limits and headed in. The fishing was fantastic and there seemed to be alot less shakers biting today. Hopefully the run will remain strong thru June.
