Launched at around 5 am Sunday from Boulder Harbor. If you haven't been out Boulder in a while (8 months for me) it is only 1 ft deep in the channel on the left side (when exiting harbor) of the rock markers, so stay to the right. I can't believe they let it get like that... Saw a heavy wood looking boat run aground before backing off and going out the deeper side.
Hit some coves and got the first large mouth around 6 am. My buddy got 2 of them that hit a rapala minnow that was bigger than them. All together we got 10 bass and lost another couple. All of them except those 2 babies were over a pound. The highlight was when a catfish nailed my friend's crankbait. Wasn't a very big catfish, but I never heard of a catfish hitting one of those before. It was a big deep diver and it was pretty murky, so as he was bringing it up, we both looked at it like, that's a weird looking bass...
Got off the water by 9:00 am just as the idiot ski boats started ruining our day and before it got insanely hot. Kept a few of the bigger bass and the catfish for dinner. Biggest one was a little over 3.5 lbs.
Didn't see any stripers boiling yet.
