I was down south this weekend and had the boat with me because Mike was doing some work on it. I wanted to stop at Chesbro on the way home but I couldn't get any good info on whether you could launch a boat there or not, plus it was really windy coming down the Salinas river valley, so I went to Pinto instead.

It started out overcast but the minute I got there it started clearing out. I didn't fish very seriously and did a lot of experimenting with jigs and trailers. I got the feeling that the bite wasn't exactly slamming and that the big fish were probably parked about 30 feet back in the trees.. None the less, I fished for about 4 hours and caught two fish. One 3lber flipping a brush hog and one dink on a speed trap. No love on the trouts. The water has gotten a little too muddy for the plug bite at this point I think. The 3lber must have been caught 2 or 3 times already, I felt bad for it so I didn't make it pose for any pictures. Tried some buzzbait for nothing at the end of the day.

I need a remote controlled jig that can swim back under the trees at Pinto ... that would be something. I also think in the future I will only bring my kickboat to Pinto. You just can't get the boat control to make the accurate casts you need to make there in my aluminum.

Cool you did get there and caught a fish as well.....

remote control jig would be the key for Pinto lol
