Last day wasn't the exceptional day we hoped for. Noel joined us and we ran into another friend Tu and his crew. The overcast didn't last and it turned out to be a cookie cutter day on 10s & 9s with fewer 11s. Good day to chit chat and drag lines. Noel and Jim hadn't fished together for ~ 7 years. I'm done for a bit - we covered a lot of water this trip.
We kept ~30 fish today. Fished mostly in 24 FOW (that might have not been a good thing). Water surface temp stayed around 70*F and the wind started picking up around 10. We were all using 2lb. test trolling our own hand tyes - me with my hard body jigs, Jim with his duck tails, and Noel with his Autos.

It was good trip - really got lucky with the weather (for Lake Perris - not Lake Havasu). Jim broke his PB CNBG 3 or 4 times. I learned a completely new spot for large fish - thought I would never leave the island, LOL.
