    So the wife and I decided to take advantage of her having a rare Monday off. We headed up to Jones Valley and launched about 8 am; like normal, the ramp was already full of trucks and trailers. We fished for about 3 hours before the wind took off and it became no fun. The wife and I caught 19 total, 17 bass and two 15 inch rainbows. We did most of our damage using a ned rig with shad colored hula stix. I did catch a few using a weighted wacky rigged senko deep, 30 - 50 feet, but they were the smaller of the bass caught. All in all it was a fun day. Now for the valuable lesson learned. I imagine most people on this forum already knew to do this, but I had to learn the hard way. Always have a backup clip for your kill-switch. Ours broke about 2 hours into the trip and I had to drive back holding my kill-switch in place and fighting the wind. I now have 3 clips in the boat just to be safe.

    Went out with a buddy of mine Friday morning. We got on the water at 9 and headed back in at 1. Launched out of Jones Valley. To my surprise there were about 10 rigs already parked along the ramp. We headed way up the Pit arm of the lake and settled on an inlet filled with trees. I starting fishing using a drop shot roboworm, while my buddy was fishing grubs. I instantly hooked up on a small bass, jigging my rig right at the base of a tree. By the end of the day, I had caught 10 bass, while my buddy ( who refuses to drop shot) only landed 1. We missed about as many strikes as we landed and saw trout chasing our baits several times. I found most of my success was deep, in the 35-50 foot range and the water had a cooled quite a bit since my last trip (54.5 degrees). I landed 5 keepers, with three nice spots, 1 at 2.5 lbs and the other two right at 2 lbs. I have two pictures, but my buddy was not in the mood to take a third picture of me, haha.

    Went fishing yesterday (11/18) and it was a cold one to begin with. 31 degrees at the house when we left at 0715. On the water by 0830, had the boat back on the trailer by 1530. It was fun to finally have my wife back as my fishing partner (she had been out for the past 5 months with a back injury). We caught 22 fish in total. To both of our surprises, we landed 3 rainbow trout and had a 4th break off at the boat. My wife also added a nice sized blue gill and what I think was a mean mouth. The rest of our fish were spots, most were common variety 12-14 inch bass. Did land a nice 15.5 inch spot that weight near 2 lbs. Big trout of the day was right around 16 inches. Could not get on any sort of real pattern, but the Pit River Bridge did give us six bass for one location. .

    Finally got the boat on the lake as it has been sitting in a shop waiting for the axle to be repaired on the trailer. Got out to the lake around 0930 but forgot the key to the boat at home. So after some choice words, we headed home and retrieved the key. We dropped in at Packer's Bay and finally got onto the lake at 1115. We shot straight over to the other side of the pit river bridge and started fishing. My wife was using a NED rig in coppertreuse on a 1/10 oz head. I was throwing a 5 inch grub on a 1/4 ball head. She instantly started hooking up and landed 4 fish before i wised up and switched to the same bait. We fished the coves near the bridge and then the main body of the lake for around 3 hours, then it started to get too hot for us and we headed back home. All in all we caught 19, Jamie landed 12 and I landed the other 7. Dinks are to take over the lake but we did land 8 keepers and a couple of nice fish. Biggest was 16 1/2 inch spotted bass. Jamie's biggest of the day was right around 15 inches.

    Saturday was definitely a tough day out on the water. Went with a buddy of mine and my wife in his 18' Tracker. Winds were howling at about 20 mph which made for some tough water out on Shasta lake. My friend and I caught a grand total of 3 bass together ( our last time out we landed 70+) on the day while my wife decided to catch 5 bass and also land her PB which was in the range of 3 lbs. I guess the all in all the trip turned out OK since my wife found some success.
