First run of the boat, Deer Creek

This morning we were going to hit it early, on the road by 5 am, we were headed to Electric Lake. 6:30 the eyes popped open, Deer Creek it is...lol. We got on the lake around 8. The boat started up on the 2nd pull, Parker pulled it to the dock and I parked the truck. We picked a new tour of the lake today we went south of the ramp and trolled the roadside bank. Parker got the first couple hits running jack-o-diamonds, then we seen a boat pulling in a couple quickly and they were running J-O-D's as well. Parker hooked up the first fish of the boating season, a nice Rainbow fun to catch it jumped and played for a couple minutes. I quickly re-rigged to J-O-D's as well had a few hits and Parker brought in another he was quite pleased with himself by now....lol. We trolled back and forth found the hot spot then everyone pulled in around us and we pulled out for a minute to let them all go by, it was all good, one of the little kids on the other boat pulled a nice Bow in, he was ecstatic, it was fun watching and hearing his excitement. I finally got one to take the hook, they were short hitting me most of the morning, but this one took in to the gills, as you can see in the pic. Parker pulled another and was really ribbing me then, we had a blast. We continued to run the route and got hits, got our worms stripped, then on the last pass I got hit and lost the entire pop gear rig, must have been a nice one to break off 18 lb lead core line....ya I know, no pic no fish...lol. We took off blew the carbon out of the engine back to the dock. With intentions of going later this evening but other plans came into play. We headed home, seen Mom and Dad for minute went home and cooked them up for lunch around 2pm. Good first outing for the season. Monday another adventure.....Yuba, Currant Creek, ??? we'll have to see where the mule takes us. Until then enjoy the pics, sorry about my fish he has added colors.
