This Afternoon I guided Dan, Jake, Kurt, and Camryn for Stripers. We launched the boat at the Colusa State Park and made are way upstream hitting all of the likely spots. The first couple of stops did not produc any action but as we neared Tuttles Pump we started to get into the fish. We were trolling with Yozuri deep divers tipped with a white grub and the fish seemed to be liking them. We worked our way up river catching 4-5 fish at each stop until we found the mother load at 7 mile beach. As soon as we started up the bank we had an imediate double hookup and as the other two guys started to reel in their lines to get out of the way, they both hooked up. It was a crazy few minutes with fisherman going every direction trying to keep the lines untangled, but we eventually won the battle and had 4 more nice sized keepers in the floor of the boat. We threw them back and made pass  after pass up the bank with the same results, FISH ON!! We continued to fish and landed close to 50 fish of which all but one were in the 3-5 pound range. Kurt hooked a 15-20 pounder but it shook the hook right at the boat. It was a great day of fishing and all of the guys had a blast!
