Wow!! Nice week last week, not only for the weather, which was picture perfect, but for the fishing which was really good. Two of my old friends and I rented a houseboat and did a little fishing. The houseboat was the cheapest one we could find but it worked perfectly for us. You can rent some really plush houseboats at Shasta but for our needs this was the one. We never spent much time on it anyway except to sleep at night and get ready to go fishing in the mornings. The fish I'm holding weighed 2lbs 2oz. Dennis caught one the same size on the first day and Bob caught one that might have been bigger but we didn't weigh or take a picture of it since it was bleeding and we wanted to get it back in as soon as possible.
You can see how clear the water was although some areas were a little murkier. We found water temps to be running in the low to mid 60's. I caught quite a few on a spinnerbait, which I dearly love to catch them on. They hit those things really hard.
Our little bay where we had the boat staked out was sheltered and private even though there was very little wind the whole time we were there. Between all of us we caught 217 fish in 3½ days of fishing. Ya can't beat that!!
