Kelly and I headed out for the hunt at 5am. Yuba hunting for the Pike! We were looking to catch some of the famed Pike out of Yuba Res. We headed south and stopped and got breakfast in Nephi and then headed on south. Got to Yuba about 6:30am and got on the water by 7 it was a balmy 34* when we launched the boat. The boat, Kelly towed his Skeeter up from S.D. a beautiful rig with 250 horses pushing it thru the water a little different than my old 15hp Johnson. 20' of pure luxury and speed, plenty of room to move around and get the angles on the cast. We started out he wasn't to happy with the performance it was only topping out at 66mph! I just laughed we got to our first hole in about 5 minutes where it would have taken the yacht an hour or so. We fished every structure we could see and think of, used the incredible electronics on the skeeter to their fullest to find and locate fish. We fished the southern end of Yuba most of the morning, we docked out of Painted Rocks. Not getting so much as a sniff at anything we threw in the water we decided to move to the dam and main body of the lake. Again taking only a few minutes to run the entire length of the lake, Kelly was just not happy with the top end what would have taken me and Parker all day to cover we did in less than 10 minutes, i just had to chuckle. We pulled up to the rock structures at the dam and fished and fished and fished covering from the dam south and east to the Painted Rocks leg of the Res. we noticed it was 3pm and again not as much as a sniff. We saw a Pike bobbing up and down in the water like he was spying on us and telling them all that we were there. A beautiful day to be on the water and we enjoyed ourselves greatly but no fish for the day. I guess that again says why it is called fishing and not catching ;)! We headed home and went to Italian Place and got a nice juicy Steak and Everything, with mom and dad, a great way to finish a great day! til next time, keep smilin'!
