Nice fish. Hopefully things turn around soon or I am afraid this will be the fate of most our lakes in this state.

Rhyak,

I always thought of striped bass as the
yellowtails of fresh water. They are sooo
fun to catch. Glad to see the lake is still
fishable. Nice job!!

They are a blast.

As for fishable. The only good thing about the lake right now is that boats cant launch so its pretty much a kayak only lake except a few small skiffs that are able to pull it off.

Great job on the strippers!

Back in '64 when I was about 10, I washed dishes for a friend of my dad's business so I could buy my first fishing pole ... a Penn 60 reel and 6ft rod. Would hot foot down about two miles to the local bridge and fish for strippers in the SF bay. I would typically get 12-14" strippers, but one day, I hooked into and landed a 23 incher! The bridge was about 30 ft high and I recall pray the whole way up that it wouldn't break off. Hauled it home as fast as I could and my mom stuffed it, based it in butter and lemon, and baked it in the oven similar to the way you would a turkey. Still the best fish I've eaten to date! Been hooked on fishing ever since.
