fished Yuba with a friend from work. launched at painted rocks at 6:30am. the boat ramp is pretty short, there is a sign at the end of the ramp and there's about a 4in. drop off. the lake is real low and lots of shallow areas. fishing was pretty slow but we caught what we came for, walleye, pike and perch. we fished pretty much the west side and the narrows and main lake points. most of our bites were on the points in 15 to 20 feet. we trolled, we casted and we jigged. I had one hit casting a rapala missed. had a bunch of bites trolling a bottom bouncer missed all of them. little perch,, the fish we caught came off a jig and a nightcrawler. I caught one walleye 18in. nice and fat.
Alan caught his first Pike 27in. about 5lb. the perch were small 8in. and 4in. we also caught about 8 carp.
