Had some free time so headed over to yuba.Got there at 730pm and the wind was blowing hard so i chucked out a minnow on a floaty rig.Then i startrd throwing spoons while the wifey stuck to her jakes.The minnow got slammed within 5 minutes of being in the water.I picked the rod up and whatever it was felt heavy.It ran a bit then i felt it turn towards the dam and that was it.I had a cuttoff!!I bet it was a pike that would be my guess.Wind stayed strong all night so jigging wasnt to good gonna have to try another day.The perch were also there in force chomping on all my minnows.They were around the 10-12 inch range.The water has come down considerably.I would say about 30 foot from the full level.

Thanks for the report Cesar, sounds like those perch are sure getting big. Too bad you didn't get that pike in.

[font "Times New Roman"][#ff4040][size 3]Nice report from down south! Too bad that big fishy cutoff on ya, would have been interesting to see the size of it. Sounds like the perchies are doing good down there, wonder when they will open it up again for them?[/size][/#ff4040][/font]

[cool][#0000ff]Thanks for the report. I definitely plan to hang out down there some more this fall. I don't suppose with the wind blowing that you saw many minnows...or did you?[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Were you fishing in your usual spot by the dam?[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You mentioned that you might be up for a trip to Utah Lake on Sept. 5th. I can do that, or we can team up on Yuba if you like. It should be getting ready to rumble.[/#0000ff]

It sounds almost like you were fishing with two poles. What's up?

Yuba is one of the places where you can fish legally with two poles.
