Well we started out with high hopes of bringing home a bucket load of Perch slabs. All week long I had been reading about the slabs they were taking out of Yuba. They even had pictures of them, I think they bought'em and took pics at the reservoir ;). We headed out at 6am stopped and topped off the Tundra and got some provisions. We were loaded with all the baits minnows, waxies, meals you name it we had it. I had bought a slew of lures that were guaranteed to bring home the big ones, nope not quite. We pulled on to the lake about 7:30 and had our first hole cut by 7:35 we had jigs tipped with meals, sonars, paddle bugs with waxies, we were going to slay them! Half hour passed 3 changes of lures later I went and found John and his boys in their 6 man tent, it is a sweet set up, I need one! They had 2 on the deck but nothing else was hitting. Went back to our camp set our tent and crawled in, did I mention it was ZERO you could see your breath crystallize. Gary toughed it out for a bit longer then he joined Parker and I in the tent, not near as spacious as the 6 man. We stayed in the tent until the sun broke through then we started sweating and decided to get outside. It was nice, still cold but clear and you could see crystals still floating. We fished for 5-6 hours moving around a little, changing baits and lures often, no one was catching any. Talked to a number of people they hadn't done any better. We decided to call it a day when a guy came by on his 4 wheeler and said he had been to every camp on the lake and no one had really landed any numbers. We then headed for home and stopped in Nephi at "Reed's" to get a burger it was good should have gotten some pics but I didn't, sorry. Got home around 3 pm fishless but with smiles on our faces. Good day on the deck! Til next time Keep Smilin'
