Well, I picked up FishJC at about 8PM and we went
to Calero. Parked at the ranger station, walked down
to Bailey cove and started fishing. Heard the rangers
over the loud speaker, but couldn't make out what they
were saying except for my car. So we decided to go out
and move the car over to the road past the dam. Found
a ticket on my window and went in to ask the rangers
about it. They were very unfriendly and said the ticket
was mine and my fishing was over for the night. So started
the night on a bad foot. I think I'm pretty much writing
off Calero due to boats/inaccessability/unfriendly rangers.

So we decided to go to Coyote instead of just going
home. Started fishing from the launch ramp shore line.
I caught a 6-10 on a 10" worm that fought good and jumped
a few times. Jos caught an 11-01 on a crank bait. We left
at about 3:30AM.

Fiero broke down on the way home. Think it is the fuel pump.
Anyway, Needed to get a tow home at 5AM in the morning.
Called on the freeway call phone and got a tow truck. This
only took about 1 1/2 - 2Hrs. Used Joe's AAA to pay for
the tow. Got Joe home at 7:15AM in my Boxster.

What an eventful trip and how about those fish???? WoW
it was nice to hold an 11# fish. Needless to say I'll be
doing some more Coyote very soon. Maybe some more night
trips. Need to call the rangers to make sure it is OK to
fish at night there and how/what can I do to get on the
water at dawn. Just to make sure I don't get another ticket
or what to look out for. Oh, by the way, we only had a
box camera with us and tried to take pictures with the
light we had. Won't know if we got anything to show until
I have them developed. It is so neat to watch lunker fish
being released and swimming off to get caught another day.

Hey Joe, How much money did you say you had to buy your
pictures? (haha).

Thank You Larry for taking me out fishing
Even with the run of bad luck
I had a good time and would be up for doing it again


Fingers crossed
on the pics :)

Scored again huh? Way to go. You got a knack for 11 lb fish!

Congrats on the big *11*, Joey! Larry said 'crankbait' - did he really mean *4-eye*???

I’m sadden to say no she did not eat one of my 4EyeSwimbaits
Although I did give a fair try in tossing one.
Chalk another double digit to a Stacy minnow
That’s two for me this year on this bait.

Thanks for asking ;)

Way to go Joe! I guess those Lucky Craft lures are really worth 15 bucks if you can score 2 double digits with them. Nice fish for Larry too. See you at the Delta Open, only 2 weeks to go. I can't hardly wait!
