[#505000]Took a small contingent of co-workers fishing to Yuba Saturday. I always get nervous when take out rookies because the pressure is on to get them into some fish.[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]We fished near the dam and arrived at the lake around 0630. I reached in the water to fill my water bubble and thought I may lose my fingers to frostbite. That water was COLD. Everyone got set up to fish and I tossed in my bait pole and started to fish a gold Jake's with red dots on my second pole.[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]Within a few minutes one of my buddies hooked into a decent sized trout. A few minutes later I felt my Jake's get slammed and I also brought in a decent sized trout. Within minutes all my co-workers were scrambling to get Jakes tied onto their second poles. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]In short order I managed to catch a secod trout on my Jakes, and then my bait pole started in on the perch. A co-worker found a trout on his Jakes, then all the bait poles started to hum. Before too long everyone but me gave up on lures and went to bait.[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]I managed to get 5 trout on Jakes, 3 more on bait, and about 10-5 perch on bait. It was a fun trip. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]One co-worker ended the day with four trout and another ended the day with five. One looked to be getting a skunk and threatend that I would walk home if I kept catching. In the end he got into the perch and ended the day with ten. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]Around 11am some asshat with a boat cruised over the top of our lines about 30 feet off shore and the fish turned off [mad] and at noon we decided to call it a day. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]All fish were released with the exception of a couple of trout one guy decided to keep. Tubedude the second fish of the day I caught looked like the twin to the one you caught the previous day half black spawning colors and half pale. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]All the bows we caught were chubby, and healthy. No sign of Anchor worms. I would put them in the 17"-20" range. The perch we caught were chubby, chubby hogs. I really hope they don't hit a bust cycle before the DWR opens up the lake to perch possession. Those caught would have made a fine fine meal![/#505000]
