Our plan was to do some fishing at Folsom Lake. I got to Broadway Bait & Tackle to buy some minnows, but was told that the minnows from the last shipment died!!!
"No more minnows," said the staff.
Okay, I was so early, I got time to go to another bait shop, the one that I use to go to anyway. I went to Romeo's Bait & Tackle on Freeport Blvd.
"Sold out. Maybe tomorrow...." Said the man.
I went to another bait shop on the same street, Delta Bait & Tackle. What?!?! It was 6:30 AM and the shop was not open!
Dejected, I met up at GMF's home with no minnows :-(
"That's okay. We'll try a different place, using different techniques." Said GMF.
Thus, began my journey of many "firsts" again :-)
o First time launching out of New Hope Landing RV Park & Marina.
o First time using Rat-L-Trap lure to target Bass and had great success.
o First time catching a crappie. Yes, that is a type of fish. Look it up....
After trying a bunch of different techniques, GMF got me into fish quickly using Rat-L-Trap lipless crankbait. Together, easily, we must have released more than a dozen undersized bass. GMF managed to boat two fat bass, while JU landed his first ever crappie!!!
