Holy Smokes, Steve. What a day! Geez, there must be a 1000 plus Steve Williams on Facebook....could not find YOUR site. BTW, I was thinking of maybe heading up to Melones this Tuesday. Don't know yet...just thinking about it. Not supposed to be too hot, I think. Even if I get up early, say around 4 to 5 a.m., it takes me a little while to get myself together and over an hour to get up to Glory Hole. Then when I get there, it takes more time to get my boat in water, and fishing gear, etc. I use my trolling motor, and also with the frameless boat, I think it takes more time and effort to get set up and ready to go.

Last time I went up there, I did all that, then went to hook up the power to the motor, only to find that it had somehow got broken, and I could not use it. Was really a bummer. I went out anyway with just the oars, but the wind blew me off badly and I left after a few hours of frustration. Had to take the motor to repair guy and get it fixed.

Anyway, if you are interested, or anyone else, just let me know and we'll see what we can work out. If you want to go somewhere else nearby, just let me know. I don't care where, if it is not too expensive, I just want to catch fish.

Regards,
Philip Keyser
