Let’s do this!  Good luck this weekend friends!  

 

 

Good luck out there, Tracy Oasis is looking good!

Go get 'em, Darth!

I am staying home this weekend :), So many people will be out there. I'll go fishing Wednesday morning. But good luck to you out there.

You’re a brave man for being out there this weekend!

Fishing was okay.  Tidal flow was off the charts. We went 6 miles into a slough against the flow. Pedaling hard, we were going 1.5 mph. Brutal. 
 

no bigger fish. Topping out at two pound fish.  But they all fought hard. No pics because there wasn’t time to do so. Quick releases before we were flushed 100 yards down stream.  Going thru “rapids” where two sloughs converted my kayak looked like a glide bait. It would shimmy side to side. Almost scary. 
 

I was glad to get terra ferma.  9 hours I was exhausted.   next time will be a lake visit.

Is that ramp shaped oddly or is it just the photo? To me it looks like it backs right into docks with boats parked on them. 

@gimruis.  it is oddly shaped.  it is further back than it looks but you put two boats in that space jockeying for position and it does get crowded.   a super cool, and talented boat trailer backer upper slipped in right next to my kayak and we both got our work done quickly.  he crushed with a chatterB.  no sniffs on mine

As Darth mentioned it is oddly shaped because the ramp comes off the side if the levee. It does get a little tight when you’re dropping a boat in and Tracy Oasis marina used to host 40-50 boat tournaments some years back. Striped Bass fishing can be really good in that area as well.

I chose TO Marina because there is a dead end slough over there.  I had hoped to find spawn beds back there.  but NOPE.  all we found was WEEDS and lots of them.  every cast was a salad on our baits.  weeds were buried into our kayak pedal drives.  it was nice, being a dead-end we did find some slack waters.  and at the opening is where we found the cooperating fish.   fish that live in current are muscle bound beast.  even the dinks fool you into screaming out loud, "oh, it could be a biggie!"  nope. belay that last message!

That launch is steeper than the picture might imply.  It taught me to not disconnect my winch strap until the trailer and boat are in the water.
