well my wife gave me Mothers day off yesterday to do some fishing.. so i decided i would finley get the boat up to joe's valley!!
so I got out of the house around 5:00 am and started our adventure..
as we got to the top of fairview canyon the fog was so thick it was 10 mph tell just before huntington res.. after that it was a smoth ride all the way to Joe's vally..
well finley got to Joe's valley about 7:30 pulled in to the marina to see 15 feet of deep muck in frount of the ramp...man i hate it when that happens.. but what realy [#ff0000](BLEEPS)[/#ff0000] me off is there is a new ramp over on the north east side and some [#ff0000](BIG SILLIES) [/#ff0000](DWR or Water users) have it closed!!!
so that was a real bummer!! so then we had to make a decision on wether we were going some were else and run the boat or just fish from the shore.. well i was going to run the boat one way or another..
so we headed to Huntington game pond near the town of huntington..
ok we got there thinking that we were going to do some fishing for bass or bluegills.. but the ranger said that the brown fishing was doing better.. so we started out trolling.. i hit the first fish 10 min's into it a big fat 12" chub.. ok took the spinner and worm off right after that.. and put a big yellow zipfish on and in a nother 10 min's i had another hit this time it was a 2 lbs brown.. sweet!!
well we went another 1/2 hour and i hit another fish this time a fat rainbow.. then my buddy hit one on a perch jointed Kwikfish..
after about a 10 min fight we pulled in a nice 3 1/2 lbs brown..
we cought around 8 more browns before the trolling motor ran out of gas.. man i hate it when that happens.. well we decided to go in shalow and see if there was any bluegills bitting..
no luck on the gills so called it a day.. what a great day on the water even got a bit of a sun burn.. sorry no pic.s left the camrea in the truck and we did not keep any of the fish..
