Well the good thing is that I caught fish. :D 3.5, 2.1, 1.7 that I weighed (seven total). Not too bad. Better than none :-)

The lake was very still most of the day with just a little wind about 3:00. Fished Yorty Creek out but not quite to the mouth from 7:15 AM to 2:30 PM. Watermelon/Red Flake Senko is all I could get fish on. Water is very clear. Could see the fish (dinks). No red tails, did not see any beds, but they were shallow, 2-8'.

x( Now for the bad part of an otherwise perfect day.

My van got broken into again at (Yorty Creek – Lake Sonoma). Could not believe it, AGAIN (last time was in Feb., week before the Tournament)! Checked the doors when I left and they were locked! When I returned the drivers door was unlocked (must have used slim-jim). Totally ransacked the thing again, kind of broke the glove box even though it was not locked. Got about $150 of stuff if I go out and replace it tomorrow.

Filed report with Sheriff and Ranger (again). Rangers would not specifically say it but they know they have a problem there but the boss has to allocate more man-hours to try to resolve it. So, left a message for Perry Crowley - Park Manager 707-433-9483 (not that 60 people leave him messages ;) as the squeaky wheel get's the grease) also. Sheriff said basically the same thing, only two officers for everywhere up there.

All was good till I got back to the van. }( }( Drove home totally stressed, P’s off, disappointed and angry!}( }( Lousy way to end the day! Damn those guys, work all week so I can fish and enjoy myself on the weekend and get ripped off again.:(

Was going to go back out tomorrow, but not now. No more fishing for me this weekend! x(

Thanks for listening! :+
