Redemption?

Photobucket

Coming this April 3, Thomas and I will have the opportunity for some redemption on the Delta in the the second Restore the Delta/ CSPA Benefit Bass tourney. The last tourney, check the past post about it, was pretty sad. We had one fish to weigh and the weather was pretty torrid. April should provide some pretty nice early weather for bass fishing and maybe this time the top water will be going off. Its a great benefit tourney with an amazing raffle and bbq afterward that is worth attending solely for. Check it out and if your up for a little competition sign up and well see ya out there. The Gotta Stay Fly crew and the GoPro's will be out there in full force.

Back on the Stan

Photobucket

Its definitely been a long time since our last post and I guess we have some catching up to do. Lets start with what Thomas and I have been up to in the last few months. Well in a nut shell here it is: Thomas built a new rod, Sage Z-axis Switch 5wt, I had a baby girl, all the local rivers have been blown so not much actual fishing, Thomas hooked and lost a trophy on the Merced, we attended the annual Fly fishing show in Pleasanton last weekend(sticker mania), and we have acquired the best addition to our gear..GoPro video cameras.(ill put up a post just on this later this week).

As far as fishing goes, yesterday was the first successful day this year for us. With it being about a month since we had actually slung any line we decided to hit up the Stan. With my new Galvan T-5 and Thomas's new switch rod along with our rigged up GoPro Video Cameras we headed into the canyon. Within minutes of getting on the water I was on to fish and with the cameras rolling we got this footage of a really nice bow. Only thing I can say about this fish is that in all the time we have fished that area, I nor Thomas have ever seen a fish of that quality caught and landed. Either he took the long trip up the river or he had fallen over the dam either way it was a beautiful suprise. Check out this video, shot entirely with our GoPros, of our morning out there and the catch. Stay Fly..D

Bass Tournament - Restore the Delta - Random Bass Video

Daniel and I attempted to throw down at the 1st Restore the Delta tournament. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to blame the weather as it was awfully nasty out there the day of the tournament. On the brighter side, my personal goal was just not to get last and luckily we nabbed 1 keeper that went 1.43lbs. Considering the big fish for the fly guys was 2.3lbs, I wasn't too dissappointed, but would've definitely like to have at least brought a limit to the weigh in. Oh well, maybe next year!!
Couple of fish from the day before the tournament.
