Stewarts Point 10/23

[Sil240sxrwd]

A couple friends of mine were out camping in their Fifth wheel out in Logandale and invited me up to hang out and do some fishing. We fished Stewart's point from about 4am to 8am and did fairly well. Caught 17 fish amongst the 3 of us. Mostly 14 inch + Cats but I did Harvest 3 decent stripers to try that "Rich Man's Lobster". Ended up throwing back all the cats we caught because I absolutely hate cleaning them [:p]...My buddy Justin caught a decent 12 inch Smallie on an Anchovy which threw us for a loop lol.... When the action slowed I baited up my medium-heavy rod threw it in to soak and tossed it in my rod holder so I could maybe hook into some bass on a crankbait with my baitcaster. I was about 20 ft from my rod and I could see the tip of my rod that was soaking bait was bent down a little but not really moving. The currant was pretty strong, so I didn't think anything of it. A couple more casts on my baitcaster and I looked over again to check on my other rod and the tip was almost in the water!!!. Ran over and set the hook but I think the fish had hooked himself. After a good fight where he was zipping off drag like it was nothing I landed a decent cat that I think weighed about 5lbs. This fish almost pulled my rod holder out of the ground [crazy]. Overall a very fun trip!!

-- We were using Anchovies as bait and Chummed with a chopped up bag of Sardines.
