September 7 (Hayward Area)

Guided Jim and his son Mark in the morning. We had action on every spot except one. On the second spot Mark had a follow from a low 40" on a cowgirl. Jim then caught a low 30" on a suick. It was one of the coolest strikes I've ever seen even though it was a little fish. Mark had another follow from a low 40" on the same cowgirl. Jim then lost what appeared to be a large fish on a suick to wrap up the day. Had a good time fishing with those guys. I want to thank Mark again for his military service to our country.

In the evening I guided Steve and Terry. The winds switched and temps dropped. I really thought we were going to pop a large fish after all the action we had in the morning. However things don't always go the way you plan. I had a fish blow up on a cowgirl then nothing the rest of the night.

Water temps 73 to 74
