Dark water, scurred fish.

We got to the spot around 1130pm. About 20 minutes north of Tracy, CA (the delta).

It was colder than I thought it'd be so I went for my jacket. Which I forgot back at home. Bummer.
So I started considering my options; pacing, circling the car, as my buddy triggered the lantern. It was low on propane or spark, not sure which, so he was clicking away at it trying to get light. Finally it burst the seams of dark and lite up our area. I came around to his side of the car to find a white sweatshirt, perfect fit, relatively clean waiting for me on the ground. Perhaps it was my lucky night.

We fished until 3am!!! I caught 2 bass and 2 cats. All were to little to keep, but it was fun bringing 'em in. At around 1am I told him we should probably get going since I had to drive back to Modesto but then he invited me to stay in his guest bedroom so we could keep fishin. I'm not much of an angler, I was mainly there for the chillin'. Having a line in the water was just the excuse we needed to get away.

It was awesome, and this morning his wife fixed us a huge breakfast fit for kings, Grits, Sausage, Eggs, Toast and Coffee. TASTY! Apparently the trick to grits is sugar and cheese. They had no cheese so I couldn't try that, but I can't really imagine how that would be so super. Next times I guess.

Wink out
