Riffe Lake 3-4-2013

Last week Trent asked me if I wanted to go fishing in his boat on Monday. So I asked where and which boat? He said American and Clifford. So I said Awesome! I am stoked!. But when I talked with him on Sunday we ended up talking about going to Riffe. I called TPU whose recording said the ramp at Mossy Rock was useable. Therefore we went even though eenakok texted me and said he heard from someone who said the ramp was closed because they dropped the water level on Saturday. But a few minutes later he said that if you have a 4x4 you could do it.
So we went and we conquered the wind and 20 fish. Trent had the first bite and loss it. Then I got one in... after a while Jerry changed his gear to Dick Nite Dodger and Wannafish A Lure then he got some. He was on top then he put a little weight on to get it down a ways. He was using a trout rod.
I used 2 rods, 1 in the downrigger and 1 flat lined behind the boat. I caught fish flat lining to 20 feet deep. I was using Dick Nite Pink Splatter and Chartreuse HotHead. Jerry had the Watermelon with a Wannafish A Lure Pink Splatter Squiddy Thing with a hammered nickel blade. We used corn and a few shrimp for bait.

The water felt cold. The wind was strong and there were waves large enough to feel like I was going to topple over. The sun was shinning. We fished from about 10:30-12:30.

It was a great day!
