Day two for you definitely was a heavy sack…
Even considering the one that got away.
Damm…. I know if I pulled a bag like yours out of anywhere else but Clearlake. I would be having lunch early. Great job!

Here in the Delta “THE STRIPERS ARE RUNNING, THE STRIPERS ARE RUNNING!”
Friday afternoon I was on the water at 3:15 off at 7pm. Fished here in the Port of Stockton in the turning basin. I got in across from the Arco/AMPM station oared over to the public pier and fished for bait couple of Sunfish and a Mudsucker.
The bait here in the Port is about standing thick and balls of Shad as big as buses are all throughout. Drifting minows seems to be the ticket for many of the boaters.
I drifted sunfish for most the time with no luck. At around 5:30 I switched over to the Mudsucker and drifted little less then thirty minutes when my line started taking out. What’s cool about drifting, using your electronics your aware of the bottoms depth and what’s in between you and it. Drifting in and above thirty-four feet of water with only ten feet of line out something has found my Mudsucker in liking. Click off the Bait Runner switch and set the rod and hold on. An eleven-pound striper had decided on joining me.
I managed to save my only Mudsucker and reused the now dead offering. Didn’t take long till my line was going out by another Striper. Eight-pounds. TWO stripers from one Mudsucker I like it. :-)
Well got off the water at 7. Sure gets cold out here when the sun goes down. BuRrr…

Back out on the Port early morning Saturday 10 o’clock. To me it’s early being a Saturday. One hour fishing for bait to only have catch one Mudsucker :-(
Drifted for four hours all for one 22” Striper.

Sunday I was planning on going out to Tullock to give a try for Small Bass but in the rush to get out early Friday I left LzyFish’s phone # here at work :'(
Mad that I did cause Sunday did not get bit… All though my roommate and friends fished Mildred’s Island to load their boat with limits of ten to fifteen pound Stripers. And that’s about all fokes.

Todd If and when your back in Stockton keep me posted will see on getting our lines wet. I’m headed to San Jose to spend time with my parents.
