[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Man, this vacationing is rough duty! Two weeks ago I spent 10 days on the Northern California coast and SF Bay and this last week we invaded Flaming Gorge for 10 days. Here's a link that my brother put on the Nevada Board on some of the fishing we did on the bay. Also here's some pics of one of the California Halibut I caught in the bay and a typical SF Bay striper.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Ya, 10 days on the Gorge is tough duty! I see Polo has left his rendition of our fishing for macks but he neglects to add how many fish we missed. Only one morning was slow, the other mornings were fairly active with several strikes and no hook ups except of course, Rob's ear piercing with the T-50. Good thing Dr. BLM was there to remove it. BTW, Your bill will be in the mail. Unfortunately, the day we hooked up, the memory card in my camera wasn't initialized and I didn't get some pics. Later that day we figured out how to initialize the card and the camera worked! I hate it when the camera is smarter than me.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]After Polo left, we did a little Koke fishing with good results. We fished from swim beach to north of the pipeline using sling blades and kok-a-nuts in 60 ft of water. The hot pink kok-a-nuts worked best and so did greens but you had to put up with the small macks on the green colors. Here's a pic of some of the kokes we kept.[/size][/black][/font]

Lee brought his nitro powered RC boat, the Shockwave, and we ran a few tanks of fuel thru it in Swim Beach. We used the Boomerang for the pick up boat and Lee's "tub" as the fueling dock. What a hoot! Here's a pic of Lee and Dixie, on their new boat, getting the RC boat refueled for another run around on swim beach.[/size][/black][/font][/left] [left][font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font][/left] [center][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3][black][inline fg4.JPG][/black][/size][/font][/center] [center][font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font][/center]
