Yes Steve, it was a nice trip. But to those who believe that it’s bad luck to catch a fish on your very first cast. It came true for me. Caught a nice smallie on my first cast I said wow this gonna be a great day! Both Steve and George said that it was bad luck to catch a fish on your first cast and that would be the only fish that I will catch. Well, sure enough I only managed two more fish for the entire two days, while they both had great days! So much for old wives tales! Any folks ever heard of it or experienced it? Sure put a whammy on me!

No, It was just Steve and George that jinxed you by sayin that.
I woulda said to you, " Well, can't catch a fish on EVERY cast, if you don't catch one on the FIRST cast."
That tells ya what kinda friends THEY are.

Still above Water, The Bus, and I made a one night camping trip at Berryessa on Monday and Tuesday. We caught 16 fish on Monday and 13 onTuesday even though we were blown off the lake by 1 pm. My streak is alive and well with 6 trips catching a limit or better since retirement.
We had a couple of visual treats in seeing a few beds, a lunker bass sunning in a cove, and an Osprey and Bald Eagle going after the same meal!
Next week is warmer temps and a three night, four day fishing trip at Berryessa. Then a one day trip on Friday to Clear Lake with my friend Bill. I'm living the dream right now guys!

Way to go Steve, and yes it does look heavenly!! We always seem to be about a month behind you folks on the bigger fish. Our big ones are starting to show, so it won't be long. Are you going to the M&G this year?

Livin the Life, NoCal Steve! I am jealous. LOL! I am kind of going into pre-retirement, starting on May 1st! I cannot wait! We head up to Bridgeport, CA to manage an RV/Camp Resort (Paradise Shores) and our schedule is to work 5 days on, then take 5 days off. We alternate those 5 days until the end of October. Guess what I will be doing on my 5 days off??? LOL!
Congrats on the fishing and retirement! I'm so looking forward to joining you in this glorious endeavor! My retirement date is 5/2/24. So close, I can taste it! LOL! Might be able to get to Berryessa before moving to Raleigh. What baits are you having the most luck with? Thanks!
Take care and ENJOY!

Awesome MD! Hope you have the best retirement! I see you are leaving CA and understand that. Drop shot finesse worms, Neko rigged Senkos, and TRD's on Ned Heads account for 90% of our fish so far this year.

The bus has the smallie and NoCal Steve has the spot.

Should be any day now for you! No M&G for me this year. Love, respect, and admire Rhyno for all he does but, wish he would have reached out for feedback on the dates. They don't work for me. Was considering going for a day but the visiting restrictions at the campground make that pointless. So, maybe next year. You going?
