BFT KNOLLS FLOATILLA 7-27-20

[TubeDude]

Met up with fellow BFT tuber Lee and BLK and his GS crew in his boat this morning.  High 60's air temp and high 70's water temp.  Purty clouds and only a bit of a ripple on the water...laying down to glass most of the morning.

Fishing started slow and never did reach barn-burner busy.  But we all caught fish and enjoyed the lovely day on the pond.  Didn't see any bank tanglers and no other boats.

BLK's grandson...CATRAT...scored early with a nice 30 inch kitty.  But most of the rest of their 14 or so fish were in the "cookie cutter" category...early 20 inchers.  I managed about 7 fish for the day...with a 26 incher and a couple of 2-footers in the mix.  Not sure how Lee ended up.  I know he caught a few but had to leave early on family matters.

The recent Knolls fire was highly visible.  It had burned many acres all the way from the Pelican Bay Marina, over the hills and right down to the edge of the lake.  A lot of the camping and recreation area around the Knolls was toasted.  But it should turn green again next spring.  Cheat grass is tough.

Good to share some water with fellow BFT fisherfolk again.  Nice of Mama Nature to cooperate.
