Nice fish, Reb. I fished up there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The big "W" was the real winner of the trip. We had a total of two fish follow us to the boat (one fish followed my buddy's lure in and turned at the boat, and followed it back to the boat again, but didn't commit to a strike). On Friday we launched out of Sheep Creek to try and get some respite from the "W." We had made it almost all the way to Carter Creek when we had an engine issue and had to turn around and limp back to the ramp to fix the problem. We lost the weather at that point and stuck close to Sheep Creek throwing marabou jigs for bows... nada. We marked very few fish the whole trip. I think the low pressure front pushed the fish down and turned the dinner dong off.
Saturday was just straight up miserable with the "W" coupled with the cold temps. We were the only boat that launched out of Lucerne as far as I saw.
That's "The Gorge" for you, though! We make plans and work around Mother Nature's plans instead.
Glad you got into a nice fish, though!
