No video report this time for one simple reason, no fish. Attempted to fish the reeds for bass like I like to do at Fayette County. The bottom was hard sand making my stake out pole useless. No bass were caught in the reeds. This left me with one option since I could not find my cast net this morning. Trolling with a rattletrap it was. Didn't get a bite on the long paddle to the West side of the lake. Fished the West bank above the dam with a spinnerbait and fluke with no bites. Trolled back with a rapala deep diving shadrap. No bites. All this paddling made me retire the pelican and it will soon be out of my garage. Its either a new yak or a trailer for the hobie which is currently down on the coast. I have learned my lesson. Calaveras is no Fayette. People troll and fish bait for a reason. That is exactly what I will do when I return. I may have to visit Braunig before revisiting Calaveras. I wouldn't mind getting back my bluegill record on Fayette either. It is that time of year for bluegill and perch. Let's just see where wind takes me.
