Returning clients John, Gregg and they brought Greggs Grandson and Cindy and Elise for and outing at Hogan to chase stripers. The morning started off with the gate being closed to the lake and not opening till 6:00 after launching the boat I started setting lines and we were under way. The morning bite was non existent but we continued on and kept trying until finally we started getting some bites and the first one made it to the net. The bite on this day was spurradock but we ended the day with six stripers from the waters of Hogan reservoir, and we had six others missed opportunities. Thanks everyone for a great day and making the best of it.

Excellent Morning @ New Melones 7-5-2022

New clients Ken brought along two of his friends and one being a return client for years ago. The morning was very smoky from a near by fire. We had a breeze and after setting four rods we started to mark a few fish but no takers, we continued on and finally found many more marks and they were biters as we started to put a few fish in the bag, then things really picked up, but as most people know that loosing these fiesty kritters is just part of the deal. Then we reached the 14th fish then wind died down to flat conditions and the bite died along with it, however we lost one more fish before we boated the 15th and final fish of the morning. Great day with three great guys. Thanks again everyone and thanks for fishing Gold Country Sportfishing.

New Melones Kokanee and trout 6-30-2022

Returning clients Gerti and Paul were back onboard with me for some fishing in hopes of catching kokanee. The morning started out with a fish ripping the line out of the clip on its way down, so we missed that one then we had another on only to be lost just before the net. Then the morning became slow and the weather was warming and the bite became tougher for us and by 10;30 it was getting hot and they decided to get off the water before it really got hot and they ended the morning with four kokanee and a trout. Thanks again you two for coming out always great seeing the both of you!!!
